The Eighth Day of Christmas

my true love gave to me, Eight maids a-milking,
which represent the eight teachings of Jesus, the Beatitudes:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 5:3-12
These words nurture and strengthen us like milk nourishes a child.
Speaking of milk, we have gone through 6 gallons of milk since we've been snowed-in (7 days)! That is almost a gallon a day!

Happy Birthday Hector!
Hector is 18 today.
Yesterday Hector made an igloo.

He wanted to sleep in it!

That igloo is so awesome. It must have been very hard work. Great job Hector!
