My New Business Name

    I know the saying is true, that we shouldn't count our chickens before they hatch, but, I am making plans for something that I think will be really cool.

   I have always wanted to do organic gardening, and have started gardens many times, only to be interrupted by home school activities, having babies and toddlers, and just trying to keep up with everyday life, so, I would start a garden, or plant some seeds, but then they would be left unattended. I never had a period of time where I could accomplish any gardening goals, until now.

   Gardening at my house has always had problems though, and it usually costs too much to remedy them, so, I tend to not stick with things when they get too difficult. But now, I have faced the problems head on, and am working through each one as they come. And I have stuck with the gardening for several months now, so I know I can actually do it.

   If everything grows right, and I continue to buy fabric pots and soil mixtures, I will have a lot of fruit and vegetable plants growing in my yard. I plan to use a lot of the food I grow, for different things like tomato sauces, pastes, condiments, etc. I can also use an extra to bring to the homeless outreach we attend once a month.

   But, if I grow a lot of food, I also can sell it. If it looks as pretty as it does in the pictures, the tomatoes will be beautiful. So will the lettuce. There might even be some fruit!

   I think I will call my new business, 'Oma's Mini Acres'.

 
Proverbs 31

An excellent wife who can find?
    She is far more precious than jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
    and he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm,
    all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
    and works with willing hands.
14 She is like the ships of the merchant;
    she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises while it is yet night
    and provides food for her household
    and portions for her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
    with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She dresses herself with strength
    and makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
    Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She puts her hands to the distaff,
    and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She opens her hand to the poor
    and reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
    for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes bed coverings for herself;
    her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates
    when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them;
    she delivers sashes to the merchant.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
    and she laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
    and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household
    and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
    her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women have done excellently,
    but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
    and let her works praise her in the gates.
