Genesis 2 does not tell us much more about the significance of this seventh day. But as we learn more about it from Scripture we realize that the “rest” involved was not a lazy rest. Rather, it was intended to be a day when the working man could enjoy the Creator as well as the creation. He could devote himself more directly to fellowship with God and the worship of His Name. This “sabbath,” or “rest-day,” was a further special blessing which God gave to man so he would be refreshed and strengthened, encouraged and heartened by contemplating all that God had done and stimulated to worship God in response.

Thank you for telling me that. My (I guess roadblock in my mind?) problem is the apt we live in is supposed to be more permanent, but Housing Authority helps with the rent. If I go off of both SSI and Food Stamps and Cash Aid, they will take me off their program and the rent here is 475 plus $25 for storage...so about $500 a month. I would have to depend on the Lord totally for sustenance and may end up moving again. We just moved in here in May. I do have a ton of stuff. I'm selling some of my stamping surplus on another list. Pray that the Lord will allow them to sell for us to pay a couple bills and meet some other needs. I'm praying about this and waiting on the Lord. Tackling this and Naomi together is gonna be tough especially since she has been in public school since the age of 6 and is in 5th grade now. She will be 11 next month.

Subject: [HomeSteadHeaven] OUr field trip!

Today we went out to pick up some alpaca fiber that was given to us. I
thought this lady owns a petting zoo, she does but she travels with them
it is not at her house. But boy what a time we had. She was incredibly
busy so we only got to stay for 30 minutes. But the kids saw goats,
dear, sheep (white and chocolate brown), miniature horses, kangaroos,
pigs, ducks, geese, llamas, cows and chickens. And she let us feed the
goats, sheep and some llama. What a blast. I definitely know that I want
animals!!! 🙂
I just wanted to climb right in there with them. I felt totally at home.

And my kitchen table is covered in cocoa brown alpaca fiber. Next
shearing I will have a ton more. Free! God is so good.
Blessings,debra
