Welcome to the
"The Foothills Farmhouse".....
A journey down the road less traveled....
serving our Lord in the Foothills of Kentucky..
Our Journey....
After 37 years of marriage......
Most of those years spent in the ministry...
From churches to Rescue Missions
and homeless shelters
and homeless shelters
to Prison Ministry...
3 Daughters
5 Grandchildren....
A Grand Dog
two son-in-laws
A faithful old dog named Max
Two rescued kitties
(Mordie and Essie)
17 major moves
4 major house remodels
It seems the Lord has settled our hearts
in southeastern Kentucky
at the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains
Hence our name.....
"The Foothills Farmhouse"
Someone who takes the road less traveled
is usually acting alone, freeing themselves from the
conformity of others....
and perhaps leaving a new trail that will help others along the way.
taking the well traveled road can be conformity or
but
taking the road less traveled....
for us has always yielded better and sounder results....
We call it "faith" results..
Results that point to God and not to us.....
A ministry that has never been done....
An old home that no one wants....
The prisoner who has given up hope..
A discarded piece of furniture...
An addict an the end of despair...
An old farmhouse table....
Using our hands...
Our hearts...
All to the glory of the Lord..
As we serve in the ministry for our Lord...
and as we do the things we love.....
We have always tried to be light to those who are in spiritual darkness..
We try to live in such a way that those outside the faith
see our good deeds and our manner and know that there is something
"different" about us......
Matt 5:14-16

We love some things just as much as the next person...
Pretty Décor....
a beautiful home....
Especially Simple Farmhouse Style...
Pretty Clothes....
How to look fashionable and still remain modest...
A beautiful Garden....
With lovely flowers
Lots of lovely flowers....
Cooking and Eating great food...
Especially with our Family and Friends...
And possible a stranger or two..
Who just needs some love..
We love serving our Lord....
Reading His Word....
Sharing with others what we learn....
Nuggets...you might say.....
We want our Farmhouse to be a place of peace....
A place where others can come for a refreshing....
A place where we create beautiful pieces of furniture...
We love doing all these things
and so much more as we serve our Lord....

Hello Sweet Patty...
ReplyDeleteJust replied to your comment on my blog, and the e-mail was returned to me. Perhaps your e-mail is deactivated for a reason, but I just wanted to mention it to you so you know in case there's a glitch. In fact, this happened once before, and I didn't think to follow through and let you know about it. Sorry about that. xo ~Sally
It's nice to get to know you better. What is your name on Pinterest? I would like to follow you there, too! Hugs!
ReplyDeletefun to find another ministry wife that loves the same things that I do and blogs about it- blessings!
