"Don't Waste The Water"

                        Part of what makes my day endurable. 8-11-2018 Perryton, TX

 

I wasn't tricked into believing that the few drops of rain we got late yesterday evening was just to stop me from watering. Several hours after I stopped watering we got a half of inch of rain. Everything looks so fresh this morning. I posted my little spot of interest that gives me pleasure to sit by every time I go to my backyard. The little strawberry patch is fenced in to keep the rabbits from eating the berries. The tall asparagus patch has supplied it's generous amount of delicious sprouts for the year. But it likes to be let alone till frost kills it. By then it is usually about 15 feet tall. The flowers bloom all summer, and keep me smiling. The rain was ever so welcome.

I have spent several hours this morning talking on the phone to friends and relatives. I am so thankful for cell phones we now have that let you talk long distance for a small amount of cost. I can stay close to my family even though we live several hundred miles apart. I can't imagine what else could be added to our modern life style that would make it more convenient. My son has a gadget in his dinning room that he tells when, and where he wants a certain light turned on. It also will make it bright, dim, or turn it off. He doesn't even have to get up from his recliner to talk to the gadget. I sometimes feel spooked while staying at his house. If I had every modern gadget on the market I would not be able to use them. The skill of installing, and operating them is just below a doctorate degree. Many of us have been left behind to slowly move on with the obsolete tech that our younger generation never learned to use, and are not interested in learning. I trust God each day to let me trust the unfamiliar technology that is being used on us daily. It's all in the name of trust, and obey. What a difference it makes when we surrender it all to God.

And what a difference it makes when we talk to family, and friends about our stupidity. When we learn from them that they too are as perplexed as we about the same issues. However, there are some who would like to make you believe they invented all the latest technology, and need no help in learning it. Bless their stupid hearts. They are absolutely no fun to talk to, or no help to make peace for a troubled heart. Which is worse that type of person or the ones who really want to encourage, but do not have the brains to deliver the words? I almost believe the brain level is about the same. Both types are to be pitied, and I love them for who they are. We could not live without a balanced group of family, and friends. God made us all.

God Bless
