~COMBINING~

WOW, we haven't posted in like a long time :)

I am so sorry for not taking the time to post lately, we have just been so busy, the weather has been perfect for harvest so we've been out on the field alot, and like normal there's always so many other things going on that keep you far to busy.

But here's just a few pictures of some combining that's going on.

Combining Canola.

Stopping for a quick supper on the field with everyone.

It's always so fun getting everyone together and eating out on the field!

And after supper they're off again.

It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, and He adds no sorrow to it.

Proverbs 10:22

Finished Harvest!

Thanks to the wonderful weather we have been having we were able to finish with harvest,the 80 acres of soy beans that we had left we we got combined this afternoon!

We are so thankful for another wonderful year where we could get all the crops off safely.

Enjoying the last meal out on the field for this year,it's been so nice out everyone really had a good time!

While the earth remaineth,seedtime and harvest and cold and heat,and summer and winter,and day and night shall not cease.

Genesis 8:22

WE ARE DONE!!

Yes,on Wednesday September 8th at 10:00 pm. we finished our harvest!
Well I shouldn't say finished it,we have about 80 acres of soy beans to harvest yet but they wait till the end of October,so other then that we are done!

We have been so blessed to bring in another wonderful crop this year,everything went well and no one got hurt, Praise the Lord!

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

O magnify the Lord with me,and let us exalt his name together.

Psalm 34:1&3

It's Harvest Time!!

Well actually it has been harvest time for a while now but I just haven't gotten around to doing a post about it,so now that I've got time I'll show you some of the pictures that I've got.

Enjoy!

This was my Mom driving the big truck.

Supper on the field is always so much fun and everyone has a great time!!

One evening while we were combining we saw a moose running through our field,it's not something we see often so it was pretty neat.

Sorry the pictures are not very good,he was standing far of already and it was kinda getting dark.

My favorite time of year and my favorite time of the day when you get a beautiful picture with the sun setting and the combines still going.

O sing unto the Lord a new song; for He hath done marvellous things,His right hand,and His holy arm,hath gotten Him the victory.

Psalm 98:1

Seed Time and Harvest

The other day as we were driving around looking at some of the crops that are so close to harvest,our five year old popped another one of his MANY questions. He asked us," How do the fields know when they need to turn brown?" Well good question. We told him that a seed is actually dead when it gets planted in the ground.With sun,rain and warm weather it grows and produces more seeds.Exactly what God intended it to do. After it has grown and matured it doesn't need the nutrition anymore and it dies so that it can start the cycle over again. We told him in a way mom and dad are like the seeds as well,we are now here with you teaching you and preparing you to live your life. After we have done what God requires of us we will also have to die and then it will be your turn to keep the cycle going. There seemed to be a far away look on his face,but as always he kept on talking and asking more questions.

This got me thinking about our lives. We are seeds that God has placed here on this earth for a purpose. As we live our lives we need to die to self and let God rule our life. Jesus had everything,He gave it up and came to earth in hope of much fruit. In hope ,He buried what He had. Is my life bringing Jesus the joy that He intends me to? Sometimes it is so hard to give of ourselves willingly,but again and again we are reminded that He gave His all and we shouldn't do any less.

Verily,verily,I say to you,Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die,it abideth alone:but if it die,it bringeth forth much fruit. John 12:24

Here are some photos of the fields that are almost ripe for harvest. And a young seed enjoying his time in the beauty of the bountiful harvest we are anticipating of gathering in soon.
