As part of my prayer life, I continually asked God to prepare us for what's ahead mentally, physically, financially and spiritually. So, when we were gifted with 104 ears of Ambrosia corn this week I looked at it as God's provision, gratefully accepted it and set to work.
Here it is all shucked, desilked, washed and ready for preserving. (I did the shucking and desilking myself.) Isn't it pretty!
Here it is, a couple of hours later, ready for the freezer ... we cooked some for our main meal of the day too and it was delicious!
Another day of restocking our pantry is in the books and we are so thankful for what God has provided.
Sometimes God's provisions come dressed up in hard work and this was one of them!

Doesn't the words Working Pantry, just make your heart warm. To know we have a storehold to help us through. I'm very thankful.
ReplyDeleteSherry, indeed they do and yes, I am thankful too!
DeleteOh wow! What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteLana, it was indeed!
DeleteOh wow, that is a lot of corn, and a lot of work. But won't it taste good this winter. I love how your prayers are answered. I need to remember that sometimes blessings are wrapped up in hard work.
ReplyDeleteKathy, it will indeed taste good this winter!
DeleteWow that was a gracious gift. However, I would have kept about 20 ears and passed along the rest to neighbors and the couple of local church food pantries that are nearby. I love sharing God's bounty in my life. Difference of opinion. D.
ReplyDeleteWe share our blessings with others as well, nothing wrong with keeping it for your own use or for sharing it with others!
DeleteDid you blanch your corn? it really looks delicious.
ReplyDeletePractical Parsimony, I recently made the comment that I was a blanching rebel in that I don't blanch our corn. I should have known that as soon as I made the statement that a situation would arrive where I needed to, and it did. Since the corn was not fresh from the field when we received it and since it had to sit in our refrigerator for a bit until I could get to it, yes, I did blanch it. That was a long explanation for a short answer wasn't it!!!
DeleteWhat a wonderful blessing! I'm looking at it and thinking corn chowder on a cool autumn day.
ReplyDeleteLori, corn chowder sounds good for sure!
DeleteThis looks great! I love the idea of working for filling the pantry. I am new to your blog. I am glad I found it.
ReplyDeleteJoyful Mama, thank you and Welcome!
