I Got A Goose! His Name Is Hank

I got a goose! His name is Hank

I’ve decided to share a Bible verse

“Though the cherry trees don’t blossom and the strawberries don’t ripen, Though the apples are worm-eaten and the wheat fields stunted, Though the sheep pens are sheepless and the cattle barns empty, I’m singing joyful praise to GOD. I’m turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God. Counting on GOD ’s Rule to prevail, I take heart and gain strength. I run like a deer. I feel like I’m king of the mountain.”

https://www.bible.com/97/hab.3.17-19.msg

Even though we live in times of trouble, I will a,ways trust in the Lord. He always gives me strength when I need it most.

I am finally confident enough to post my own artwork.

Hank has grown a lot over the last three weeks
