I've been canning a lot lately!  At times it is an exhausting process.  Other times I enjoy it.  Today hasn't exactly been one of those days.  Sis is sick on the couch.  Daddy and Bubba have been out of town for a while.  Scooter is worn out.  Howdy is rowdy.  And, Posie is being nosey.  She's into everything while I'm trying to get things done.

I was almost through making six quarts of "hamburger dills" when I noticed the size of the mustard seeds that I use for various recipes.  They are so tiny.  I was reminded that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains.  I thought to myself, "I have more faith than the size of a mustard seed."  It really cheered me up.  And, I was able to get through the canning and look forward to all the cleanup.  I also realized that getting through the days of canning, laundry, sick kids, rowdy kids, moody kids, traveling husband and/or kids, gardening and homeschoooling all require faith to get through.  Just knowing that faith the size of a mustard see can move a mountain or more really helped me realize that I have to remember that I have more faith than a mustard seed in the first place.  So, these challenges are nothing for me to handle with God's help!

WHEW!  What a small thing to do.
