The Corner Grocery Store

I am singing a song in my head about the corn blowin' on it's horn at the corner grocery store. (Raffi) We have certainly had our share of corn this week. Sunday I was dreaming of painting part of the basement. The part where I plan to do preschool with my three little ones and my nephew. I am doing a major overhaul of that area and getting it back to what it was when I taught preschool here. I bought the paint and other things and was so excited to get it done when I got this phone call from my aunt and uncle. Some of you will understand this kind of call. They called to tell me their corn was ready and we could have as much as we liked. Well, there went the painting. I've been picking, shucking, washing, cutting, canning and freezing corn ever since. We filled the entire back end of our 15 passenger to the top with corn and went back today to get some more. I actually have a bit more to do tomorrow but then I am done. So don't anybody call and tell me they have corn!:) I am so thankful for that call, really. I love putting up food and now we have 40 bags of creamed corn in the freezer and 30 some quart jars of regular corn and we've eaten quite a bit of it right off the cob. Isaac said "Corn again?" at lunch time. Tomorrow I have quite a few tomatoes that need attention so maybe I'll paint Friday or Saturday. It is all little steps to get ready for our new children. The food, the painting and the cleaning out the junk. We are especially full of praise today for who the Lord is. This verse is also a song and I love scripture set to song. May you all find something to rejoice in the Lord about.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!
