Update on the Yard
Our yard is coming along quite well--the largest unkempt area has been weeded, planted, and mulched. Ah, yes, it is quite satisfying to look at it knowing that the "big job" is behind us and we can enjoy it for the remainder of the summer.
My sisters and mom are coming to visit the latter part of June, so I want the yard to look nice. It's amazing how someone's visit can motivate me to work on a number of projects. My husband and I even discussed putting down a patio, but time is running out, it's getting hotter, so I believe that "big job" will be postponed until a later date.
I hope we will be able to minister to my sister while she is here, as well as my mother. God just reminded me that ministry comes in various forms and many times it is simply extending a loving attitude, being accepting, and not being forceful. It is saying "I love you",& showing gratitude for the little things. I think he is showing me that in my mind I "see" ministry as praying with someone and that is only one aspect of it.
So, I will minister to them with love and let God do the rest.
