We have an acre to mow (with a push mower :) and yesterday my husband spent four hours caring for the lawn. Our oldest just turned eight so we have a couple more years until he can take over. This post encouraged me that the fruitful season will come :) Thank you! What an encouraging post!

It is a rare man who can troubleshoot and fix engines and especially mowers. The man who does it in our town wants to retire but cannot because of the demand and there is no one with the skill. If they do have the skill, they do not want to. Blessings to you Jessie. Skill, good attitude and good work ethic are a rare but wonderful combination.

I have such fond memories of working in the garden with my dad (who could grow anything :) and it quickly became a hobby for me as well. a couple of years ago we had a knock at our door from a young man (10 years of age, wonderful homeschool family) who lives behind us explaining that he was mowing lawns for the summer and left us with a beautiful flyer he had made up. as much as i love doing it myself, phil and i were so impressed with this young man and after praying over it we felt lead to have him take over mowing for us. he is still mowing for us and i couldn't be happier with him. we have enjoyed hearing of how he saves and thithes his income, and celebrated with him when he purchased his mountain bike (we live right on the plateau of mt. rainier and we have many mountain bike trails nearby.) it's a joy to see these young men developing and growing a strong work ethic. blessings. jesse is a very impressive young man and it is exciting to see him developing income producing work at such an age.

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:56:40 +0000 http://www.titus2.com/blog/?p=2658#comment-38097 Ahh, the joys of lawn mowing, and lessons learned. I burned up my $750 fancy lawn mower by letting the oil get too low and it will take $500 to fix. I bought a new one for $300 instead. It's not quite as good as the old one but gets the job done (I didn't really need a fancy one anyways). Now I have to figure out what to do with the dead one. If you all lived nearby I'd let Jesse work on it :). I may save it for a friend for when his sons are older as they'd like to learn some small engine repair skills (something I never aquired).

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:24:03 +0000 http://www.titus2.com/blog/?p=2658#comment-38095 Thanks for the reminder. I feel so discouraged with my 14 year old right now, with schoolwork, housework and chores. He is our oldest, so it's easy to question whether our parenting is working, and become discouraged. If we trust in the Lord, and parent through Him, then surely all will be well, right?
