Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Another winter has passed and we have once again harvested and delivered cabbages and carrots to the Forest Park Ministry Center.  This winter we tried to grow broccoli and cauliflower to add to our garden bounty.  Due to a certain "farmer's" inexperience, the broccoli and cauliflower did not make it to harvest but as always every experience is a learning experience so we'll try again next year. 

We are trying something new with celery this spring.  Check it out if you get a moment!

As I am typing this I am listening to "Come Thou Fount of Blessing" by Mumford and Sons. This song is a great reminder to us to remember to praise our Father for not just our blessings, but the opportunities to praise Him in sharing our blessings with others.  Thank you God for the opportunity to share blessings with others. Please find our gifts pleasing to you. 

Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.
