We went apple picking at the local orchard today, Eckert’s near Belleville. They’re BIG in Belleville! That’s an inside joke with Heather Peterson. I’ll see if she comes to read my blog. Tee hee.
Anyway, we had lots of fun. Besides picking apples, we got to ride a camel, play in a sandbox and feed farm animals and wild animals by hand. We also got to ride a wagon pulled by a tractor to get to the apple trees.
We had a wonderful time. Praise the Lord for cooler weather and a husband who is willing to take his family to places that are fun and educational, even when he would rather do lots of other things.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
