Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report #18

#18 - Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report

If you were following this blog in 2015 then you will be familiar with my "365 Days of Being Thankful" challenge.  I have missed reporting on my thankfulness since I finished my challenge back in November so I decided to at least give a weekly Thankfulness Report & include a Growth Report also.  Growth in our Christian walk, growth in the garden & growth on this blog.  Finally, I am also including a "Posts From the Past" feature - ENJOY!


This week I have been thankful for God's guidance and protection;  for delicious leftover meals made by my mom;  for my dear cousin  and for heirloom seeds.


"For the word of God is living and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;  it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."  Hebrews 4:12
This post is all about spiritual fruit of the Spirit & specifically "The sword of the Spirit which is the word of God."

All of my tomatoes & sweet potatoes have been planted.  If you are interested in learning how to plant sweet potatoes then read:
