Hard Work or Love Work?



This is such an abundant time for us here in South Australia. The fruit trees are heavy with sweet fruit and the garden has given us vegetables with much to share with others.
At times I think I do not want to put fruit into jars, it seems so drawn out and tiring. But there you are: the Father in His rich giving has brought so much to maturity. Deep down I am so thankful for it all. There is joy and contentment when the task is completed.

44.  Plums to preserve and dry.
45.  Peaches to also preserve.
46.  Crab-apples on the tree.
47.  A Rosella Parrot eating the crab-apples.
48.  Tomatoes and zucchinis.
49.  Recipes to follow.
50.  Jars for jam and preserves.
51. Shelves to store them on.
52.  Strength to do these jobs.
53.  A husband who offers help and encouragement.
