"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." John 12:24-25
The picture below is NOT what our garden looks like now. Much of what was flourishing this summer is dead or appears to be dead. Grey is the primary color of our landscape now, not green. We thought it fitting, on this last day of 2012, to remind ourselves of Christ's goodness, truth and beauty on our homestead this summer. His faithfulness is our only hope for resurrection, both in our garden and on the final day. We hope you enjoy the pictures! May the Lord make you and your family very fruitful in the coming year, dear reader, for His glory!
