A Peek Through Our Front Glass

*Dinner Time*

God Provides (Part 3)

"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are they not much better than they?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

Matthew 6:25-34

The morning after we picked up the sawmill, we all made a trip out to the land specifically to deliver the newest treasure.  After all, we couldn"t leave it on the truck and trailer forever! : )

Looking at the conglomeration of pieces, it doesn"t look all that easy to get it back together in the right order, but apparently there was a system. : )

When we arrived at the land, there were animal prints everywhere.  Dad and Ray believe it to be wild hog prints.  They said the hog smell was in the air.

Setting up camp is not the favorite part of the whole process, but obviously very necessary. And in this case, it was only a one night stay. Yuck. : )

In Tennessee, the sawmill was loaded with a track hoe, but out here, it was off-loaded by hand. At first we were wondering if that was possible, but where there is a will, there is a way!

That is a monster of a saw blade!

A very necessary part of work out in the heat.

Then came the big, heavy part.  After racking their brains for a solution, they decided to pull it off the trailer with the van.

Not tight enough!!!

Here it goes . . .

Now, Daddy, we know you're strong, but you're not THAT strong! : )

They'll try anything!

Thankfully, there was only one piece that broke during the whole process, and even though we'd rather it still be in one piece, it's not that big of a deal to get it fixed.

The motor was extremely heavy. Really, it's a miracle they were even able to do all this by hand! The Lord certainly gave strength!

Tweak a little here and tweak a little there . . .

Cranking it up!

And she"s running!!!!!

Two of the happy onlookers . . .

Gotta text!

We marvel at the Lord's provision!  He is SO good to us!  And the sawmill looks like it just belongs there!  Just like an old home place. : )

I just had to share this!  "Nina" is the nickname Sara gave Christina when she was small and couldn"t pronounce her name, and it stuck.  So when we were on our way home and saw this . . . : )
