the Shepherd's farm: October 2011

Thursday, October 13, 2011

Welcome!

Welcome to the Shepherds farm blog. I am so happy that your here and I hope you enjoy your time here. My family and I are returning to the farm life and I hope to one day be able to offer more than just words to my readers. But for now, sit back and enjoy pictures, stories, and then some.

Testimony

Conceived in sin and heavy grief births

a newborn babe in simplest form;

an endless soul trapped in earthly flesh,

the evil one is at the door.

Working, striving, ever failing,

ever blind to Meanings love;

wretched man, unashamed and naked,

shouts forth cursings to Him above.

The deepest depths of life's bleak sorrow,

sins pleasures turned to ash and dust;

Meaning and Purpose have sent the Helper,

revealed the cross and the One to trust.

New hope, new life, new direction of spirit,

all old things have passed away;

cross-clinging, sin-purging, weak and weary,

this soul has one thing left to say,

"I'm listening to the Shepherd's call,

growing on the One True Vine,

picking daily up my cross,

and laying down this life of mine."

Wife, mama, hands of Christ,

no greater blessing can be than this;

in this calling there's much life-serving,

done with views of heavenly bliss.

To all breaths end has this soul come,

this flesh frame had it's battles won;

all glory be to God the Father,

Son and Spirit, three in one.
