What is the fastest
growing plant you know? I say the asparagus plant. These plants came
through the ground from the roots this past spring. Now at mid summer
they look like trees. Seven and eight feet tall. I have to love them
even though they just give off asparagus to eat for a few short days.
They are only fit to eat when they first come through the ground. But
I must say they are delicious then. I still have a few bags in the
freezer. Asparagus also grows without much watering. It is a thriving
plant that grows fast in the hottest weather with almost no water.
I've never seen a worm or a bug on those plants. It would be nice if
we as humans could be half that productive. We have to be treated
with tender loving care, and even then we dry up and we need much
more than water to revive us. I do thank God for good doctors and
nurses. He knew what we would be needing to survive in this weak, and
wretched body, so He gave us technology to help when our faith was
too weak to trust Him. He never demanded perfection from us. Instead
He provided a means of healing even when we could not believe. Love
does not get greater than this. We need to share that Godly love with
others every day. I feel blessed with that love being shared with me
daily.
I'm on schedule today with my to do list. It's just that I don't put much on that list. I would rather accomplish my goal though it be small, than to fail to accomplish because it was too big. I feel like a queen of hearts when I finish my small to do list. One of my to do things for today was to have lunch at the Center. I did that, and painted for two hours, now I'm writing my blog. I washed dishes before lunch so I am feeling pretty grateful. I still have to cook a meal for my son's lunch for tomorrow, but that will be simple, and it's something I do even if I don't do anything else. I'm thankful I have him still with me because he has been a help since I lost my husband. He appreciates me, and I share that sentiment. His entire life has been a somewhat mystery, but maybe we all could say the same. Only God knows the secrets, and I'm fine with that. I can say if I had one half the knowledge my son has about most things, I would feel more than normal. It is more than a mystery, but like I said God gave him to us with that special gift. I no longer question, but try to make live easier for him than what he has known for years. I am not one of those parents who gave up on their children when they disappointed them. I believe I have pleased God with that long, hard endurance.
God Bless
