As a matter of fact, my father was, for a short time, the pastor of the church your in-laws attended in Onsted. My grandfather grew up with Harold.<br /><br />Having just recently found out that woman I knew through working at camp has passed into the arms of the Savior, I've been reflecting quite a bit on my own personal "cloud of witnesses" and the legacy that has been spoken into my life as a result. I've also been praying even more fervently that I add to that legacy rather than detracting from it!Mary Jo Laupphttp://wickedmamaj.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-23603783205095604592009-08-06T21:47:27.173-04:002009-08-06T21:47:27.173-04:00Thank you for sharing!!!

I'm making sour kraut in a crock, canning pickles today and harvesting tomatoes, peppers, and beans today. There is such depth of satisfaction in this sort of work. I'm off to a family reunion deep in the Mtns of NC tomorrow. We all sit around talking about how our family used to live on their mountain and never leave. All of their food, family, religion, and education was right there...Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-11663984317585104302009-07-30T16:32:04.339-04:002009-07-30T16:32:04.339-04:00I'm visiting via Tuesdays Unwrapped, and I jus...I'm visiting via Tuesdays Unwrapped, and I just love this post.

I think it's one that all Moms should take note of. <br />I got tickled how the light shade of color on your blog seemed to highlight the part about living in the south without airconditioning.

Family reunions can be so fun and filled with wonderful memories for old and young alike.<br /><br />Scooper, you know that you are made from stern stuff.... you are not a delicate flower petal and could certainly have done what your great gran did if you lived during her time.<br /> <br />However, like you said in the post... this is the time in which we are born. God has our destiny all planned out for us according to His ways.

Each generation has their own set of struggles, their own burdens, their own blessings. Ours are much less physical than those our grandparents and great grandparents faced. <br /><br />How fortunate that we have such a Constant God, who is the source of Peace for generations past, present and future, who waits patiently for us to lay the complications of every day before Him!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946043005796746807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-77680540087609035262009-07-27T12:21:01.923-04:002009-07-27T12:21:01.923-04:00It's funny that you wrote this.

I don't know if you've read any of her stuff but she writes stories about the Amish who live in Penn. Dutch country. I know it's just fictional stories but the lifestyle is one that many still live today, and sometimes I find myself getting caught up in a daydream of living without electricity, where we make all our own food from scratch, and live completely off the land, raising vegetables and livestock. Simple times compared to today. <br /><br />I think we get too wrapped up in making our lives as convenient and easy as possible, that we wind up making things much more complicated than they need to be. <br /><br />You're right about God placing us here and now...sometimes I still wish He had placed me back then! I'm thankful, though, that He has the made the plans!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
