And Now, A Word From The Man of The Homestead.....

Dear Anonymous,
            I normally do not comment on any posts. But am compelled to do so here!  Apparently, you know very little about the family and or person you are commenting on.  The intent of this blog is to share with others the blessings the LORD has provided this family. Not to brag about ourselves . 
We have wanted a cow for several years.  We have tried to find and purchase one on our own for some time. We have had no luck on our own. That is until we asked God to help us. The day we found this magnificent animal I feel the Lord guided me to the site were the ad was. The reason I say this is because the site is not in my history on this computer.
After emailing Brother John about this animal, I contacted my wife to tell here about the find.  This is what you need to understand. First, I don’t get on the computer except to check to see if work has sent me anything.  It goes on then off. This day was different. I got on and ended up on this site. I never email anyone, I always let Deanna do the emails. For some reason this day I emailed Brother John. When I went to get Deanna the link were I found the cow it was not in my favorites. I could not find it anyplace on my computer.  Also the response back was not what I expected.  It was two days before I heard back from Bro John. At this point, I did not expect to here anything and I was surprised to hear that the animal was still available.
What really surprised me was that Brother John did not see my email till the next day. It was down at the very bottom he said he missed it the first day.
To some this would be nothing, but to me I knew in my heart this was the Lord At Work. See in my life there are two ways.  Gods Way and mine. Well you know which way always works! And its not mine!!!
Well anyway, the point being, God allowed us to get this animal and blessed us greatly in the process . Now, to us this cow and milk is a blessing from God. Should we not want to share our Blessings with others? All we are trying to do is let others see how we have been blessed. You need to remember this is new to us we want to share what we have learned and hope that others would share with us ideas that we can use.
There are things I would like to add but I have not found the words to use. For I am afraid that you might think I am trying to glorify myself or brag . All I can tell you is the Lord shall get all the glory from this house and every blessing we get should be shared and everyone should know it came from God!!!!!

May the Lord Bless you and guide you through life’s journeys
May you always seek the Lord
May you always Glorify The Lord before others
And not be afraid to do so openly

We all make choices for ourselves. Others do not have to understand or agree. You did and do what you feel your are inspired to do by our loving Heavenly Father. I appreciate your Christlike additude.

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
