Bloom Where You Are Planted

        How do people see our lives? Are we growing sweeter and more Christ like each and every day? The more time we spend with God and His Word the more of his presence will surround us and His thoughts will fill our minds, heart and speech.  God's love will flow through our work, conversation and countenance. We should be loved and as endearing to others as a fresh blooming fragrant flower from the Gardener of Life!

        We can learn from the amazing wild roses that may be neglected, even growing in poor conditions and surrounded by thickets of bramble bushes.  They are ever climbing higher, developing stronger roots,  scenting the air with their lovely fragrance and with their beautiful blooms facing the sunshine they continue producing lovely blossoms round about them!

--God has wisely placed us  where we can draw upon His strength to bloom and beautify our home through joyful, grateful service for  His glory!     Rejoice evermore!  Loretta

... The Gardener ...


Whether we eat, drink, study, or do our chores, we desire to glorify God! Our family of five is striving to be examples of true Bible believers "in word and in deed"-with the help of our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! My two eldest children are sons that are homeschool graduates attending a christian university taking courses in engineering, computer science etc. (fun classes like Calculus 3-who would have thought!) My daughter is now a high school senior! We all love her violin music! When my husband is not working on gas turbines for GE, he is busy with all of us maintaining our country home and rabbitry. We have been raising purebred rabbits for 14 yrs. and are members of the American Rabbit Breeders Assoc. with 120 bunnies (that number varies day to day!) I hope we can get acquainted real soon !
