Harvest Time

Autumn is most definitely here. The trees are turning bright yellow and the occasional red. After a cold snap it is staying very nice and warm, mid to high twenties. Something I have never connected with Autumn is harvest but now is has much more meaning. 

This picture was taken when we stopped for dinner after finishing the field. Food was brought out to us then we moved to the next field. I am in the blue t-shirt in front of the green combine. I drove both this one and the red one next to it. I also drove the white grain truck. All of it was lots of fun. I have spent about 20hours in the field in 2 days.

I have come to realise that the life of a farmer is very dependant on God, both for a good crop and the weather to harvest it. We praise God for the weather of late and pray that it will continue. 

Northern Lights

Isaiah 40:25-26

"To whom then will you liken Me,

Or to whom shall I be equal?" says the Holy One.

Lift up your eyes on high,

And see who has created these things,

Who brings out their host by number;

He calls them by name,

By the greatness of His might

And the strength of His power;

Not one is missing.

Last night on my drive home from Bible study I got to watch some Northern Lights. They were just so amazing and beautiful and made me marvel at our God. The beauty of this display in the sky is miniscle in comparison to God. I want to stop, as I did on the road to watch the sky, and see the greatness of God in my life each and every day.
Unfortunately my camera is not capable of taking a good picture of the Northern lights dancing across the sky but it did capture something else up high.

I have had the joy of helping this family build their house on some of my free days. This was on Monday helping put the pine boards on the roof. The top point is 35feet.
