The waterfall story







Next to the house is a waterfall. We started it up (months ago) for several hours, then it stopped working. This past weekend Rick and Debbie came up to visit for Easter. We all worked in the yard all afternoon. It was sunny and 65 degrees outside. Debbie and I were trying to figure out what went wrong with the pump. I disassembled it. Cleaned it. Checked out the electricity source. Everything I could think of. And could not figure out why it was not working. Again and again we plugged it in to see if the thing we tried had cured the problem. But the motor would not start.

Debbie came in and put her hands on the pump. She began praying for it. We plugged it in after that, and it started working straight away. We spent the rest of the day cleaning the pond and the river out. I am so glad for my in laws. They are a blessing to us. And it has been great witnessing Debbie's prayer life. She prays and believes. What a sign of faith! Now I know it was a silly pump, but it would have been expensive to replace. Thank you Jesus for Debbie (Mom/Grandma)!

Debbie is pumped up on prayer, pun totally intended.

She's an awesome woman for a lot of reasons.

So many fun posts about your family and farm. We need to come visit sometime and see all you have done. Can't wait to see your finished chicken coop. :)
