Around the Supper Table

image

We gather around our supper table daily to share with family. Not only do we enjoy the hugs and laughter, but it gives us an opportunity to share our journey with each other so that we can strengthen and encourage one another.

We have created this blog in hopes that our struggles, and sometimes revelations, can help you. We know that life can be difficult, but it is only through Him that we “live, and move, and have our being . . .” (Acts 17:28). He hasn’t taken our struggle from us, but He has given us purpose in our struggles that we may help each other. We appreciate feedback and prayer requests.

In Matthew 11:28-30 it reminds us to, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

If you want to understand our thoughts behind a blog, get to know the author more, or you’d just rather listen to us, join us on YouTube where we read our blogs, then discuss them with another member of the family, usually Pa.

We also share daily Bible verses on YouTube that are available through phone calls if you contact us.  These daily verses, and the original commentary, are shared by every member of our farm family from the youngest child to the eldest leader.  We pray that the thought and prayers that go into preparing these verses and blogs touch you with God’s truth and love.
