Lambs, Calves & Kids…oh my!

Despite the chill and whippy wind, our littles had a glorious morn with friends and baby animals.  And a wagon ride.  And, lest we forget the food, pizza. 

What’s not to love?

We trekked out to a little family-owned petting farm where we got to lay eyes on the most darling 4 day old lambs and 2 day old {pygmy} kids.  The kids parents had so much fun.

I was rather tempted to stuff a wee billy goat in my coat pocket and run, but decided otherwise.  Might ruin my witness, you know.

So instead I fed goats with my knees {awkward story} and instructed Bug to sit down another 327 times and stop poking the horse in the eye.

Little kids.  Little-r animals.  Perfect lighting.  There’s a slight chance I got trigger happy.

Speaking of *bunnies…

I’m off to try my hand at marzipan.  Random segue, I know, but it’s my delightful daddy’s birthday on Saturday…and there’s just no better time to give this odd almond-ey paste a whirl {he’s loved it for as long as I’ve known him…which is almost 64 years…and most likely, much longer}.  And…speaking of *bunnies…we have a few sacrificial {leftover chocolate} bunnies we plan to melt down and slather it with.

Woah mama.  How can you go wrong with almonds and chocolate?

We spend so much time waiting to feel ready... mor We spend so much time waiting to feel ready...
more confident, more equipped, more certain.
But God often asks a simpler question:
What’s already in your hand?

Small doesn’t mean insignificant.
And obedience doesn’t require certainty—just trust.
