Pear update and much thankfulness

Things went well! Thanks to expert directions and pictures. I managed to get six jars and some left for eating.

It was a wonderful day!

It has been my privilige to see God work in a great way. He has been faithful and gracious. He cares greatly for His people and I have been granted a front row seat to see it all unfold. My heart is so full of thankfulness and gratefulness. And I am so excited to see what He will do in the lives of His people. I'm so happy I want to explode. God's love is amazing. He controls every small circumstance in our lives--big ones, too. This is a big one...HUGE.

"I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High." Psalm 7:17

With a grateful heart,

Canning Pears...hopefully

A new friend blessed me with a batch of pears that appear to be ready to can. This will be a new adventure for me and I am looking forward to the challenge. Armed with the above link--it has pictures!!!--I am prepared to give this a try.

My mom canned pears when I was small, still living in Meridian, and I still remember how good they were. Filled with cream cheese or added to cottage cheese they make a great and easy dessert.

The In-Laws are all moved!! It will be the challenge now to get them to pass some of their "stuff" off to someone else. They just have so much.


Looks like it will be a beautiful week, especially for November!

"Help me to place myself always under thy guiding and guardian care, to take firmer hold of the sure covenant that binds me to thee, to feel more of the purifying, dignifying, softening influence of the religion I profess, to have more compassion, love, pity, courtesy, to deem it a honour to be employed by thee as an instrument in thy hands, ready to seize every opportunity of usefulness, and willing to offer all my talents to thy service." Valley of Vision, excerpt from Choices
