Cows love Jesus too!

Meeting Annabelle for the first time!

In the cows "living room" for church


Every once in a while my little family takes a Sabbath Sunday to have church at home. John works 10 hr days 6 days a week and the result is very little family time. A few Sundays ago was one of our "Special Sundays." We slept in, made pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and took a walk. John packed his Bible in the stroller and off we went! About midway through our walk we realized that Abigail had not yet met the cows and horses so our destination became the pasture! We invited ourselves into our cows "living room" (a hollowed out place in the trees where they lie down at the same time everyday). It was a gorgeous morning with a hint of Fall in the air. John decided that this was as good of spot as any for church that morning because cows love Jesus too you know! John led our little family in a church service of sorts, and I have to say that the cows gave their utmost attention to the "sermon." Every once in awhile John surprises me and reads me Proverbs 31, and that morning was one of those times. We also prayed Psalms 139 over Abigail, just as we have since we first knew that she was growing inside me. It was a special moment that touched my heart deeply. We love introducing our little girl to our life on the farm, and so far she seems to love it as much as we do!
