Its truly been one of those weeks you just wish you could start over.  I feel like I wasted the majority of it.  Our family web site crashed.  MMMMMMMMMM????????  I spent most of yesterday on the phone with Yahoo trying to figure it out.  This morning I just decided I wasn't going to worry about it today.  One of our does kidded and never let down her milk.  Thankful I had frozen extra last year for us and baby goats.  I went out to check on goat momma's and babies and found a dead baby.  Better me than my youngest finding the baby  but still not something that makes me happy.  

Events can either control you or you can control ourselves in events.  Despite the weeks issues I have a lot to be grateful for.  We were able to see new life born this week which is a blessed thing.  Despite the loss of the goat, it truly reminds us how precious life is!

The web site, well small in comparison to anything else but it can be a frustration, however I have learned so much working on it and have had many people stop by and made some new friends.  In time it will be fixed so why waste any more time worrying?

God has given all of us roses amongst the thorns.  Sometimes we just have to pull the thorns out as we enjoy the beauty. 

Funny, I found myself wanting to come to Homesteaders to read others blogs for a source of encouragement.  A blessing you all are to me, to be sure.

May you find the good in all things as "...we know that all things work together for  good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

God's blessings,

Lea
