Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report #33

#33 - 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 joyously thankful for a delightful visit with my parents and my cousin.  I am also thankful for cool crisp Fall evenings and for a fixed plumbing problem.  As always, I am mostly thankful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.


"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command.  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business.  Instead, I have called you friends , for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."  John 15: 13, 14 & 15
This post was the seventh of an eight part series that I wrote on John 15 (the wonderful passage about the vine).  Please click on the link below to read the entire post & then scroll down to view each link for all 8 parts in this series.

Fall kale is looking great and we are still a few weeks away from harvesting our sweet potatoes.  I'm not sure if we will have enough warm weather left this year for the second flow of Goji berries to ripen.
