I finally decided on names for the triplets this morning. Because Charity ,the mama goat, died last night I decided to name the nannies after her, so they are Charity and Love. The billy is Melchizedek.
Well, I should get going. It is going to be time to feed the babies after we read the Bible together and then off to bed for me as I have to get up "before the sun" to feed the babies again.
Night everyone!

Charity
Charity the mama goat that kidded last night died this evening. There was some problems and complications during and after birthing the kids. I am not sure what all went wrong.
I am thinking of naming the girls after their mama. But I still haven't decided.
I am not really looking forward to being "mama" to the three kids. It is a lot of work to be the mama to kids. ~Practice I guess. :)
To bed I go now... Early morning tomorrow.

1st Peter 1
This morning I read 1st Peter 1 during my quiet time. I thought I would share it with you all, as it was encouraging to me and something that I needed to read and soak in and ponder on.
" Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of out Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in the heavens for you,
5 Who kept you by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through magnifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written,"Be ye holy; for I am holy".
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojurning here in fear:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not reedemed with corruptable things, as sliver and gold, from your vain conversation recieved by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spiritunto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptable seed, but of incrorruptable, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached by you." 1st Peter 1
I hope this is an encouragment to you as it was to me!

A thought while picking up rocks
I thought I would try to post something today. :) I have another post that I am working on, but it will take me a little while to get it all finished. It takes me a while sometimes to get what I am thinking out into words.
I have been picking up rocks out of one of our fields for Dad when I am able to. That gives me a lot of time to think as I work. :) One of the thoughts that I have had was; " What am I preparing myself for?" With how things are going in our nation and in the world, I could be persecuted, put in prison, and/or sent to labor camps because I am a believer and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. I could also die for what I believe in. I know it sounds a little funny now to be thinking that way. But I believe that it is coming, and I need to be ready for it when it does come.
I thought I would share that with you all.
Also, here is a verse that I thought I would share with you.
" I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20

Spring!!!!
Micah got my picture on our way back home.( I only thought it fair to put it on since I am putting Micah on here too!)
Micah up a tree! 
Pussy Willows!
Pussy willows # 2
Pussy willows # 3
Crocuses!
Crocuses #2
Crocuses #3Spring is here!
According to the calender any how! You never know what might happen around here this time of year! It was a beautiful sunny cool day today! I can't complain!
Micah and I took a walk out to the woods to get some pictures of some pussy willows I saw when I walked out to the woods Sunday afternoon. I couldn't help but share some with you all. I also put some pictures of my Crocuses that are starting to bloom!
I can't wait for the other wild flowers out in the woods to come up and bloom! Spring is one of my favorite times of the year to go out walking in the woods. ( Honestly, I like to go out there all year around!)
When I was walking Sunday afternoon, I saw and heard lots of Robins and Red Winged Black birds. There were other birds singing too, and it really sounded like spring! ( Plus it felt like spring!) I just stood there in the sunshine, in thought of the awesomeness of God, and of all He has done for us.
Spring will come again!
Hope everyone had a wonderful day today on this day that the LORD has made!
