"A Touch Of Hope For All Living Beauties"

Canna Lily stands alone, but stands anyway. What happened to all the others? 6-12-2020 Perryton, TX

The Canna Lilies are blooming finally. But the hot weather is taking a toll on them. They are opening one and far between. They usually line my fence row for several yards with solid blooms. I know I will be mocked for saying this, but I think the evil, corrupt, so called humans, has had a domino effect on every living thing. I notice that everything I used to admire so much has had a change in everything they used to offer. Not only my yard, but my neighbor who used to have a beautiful green, mowed, and watered yard is now looking sick. The public school yard where the ball players practice just across the street from my yard is brown as hay. It has always been green, and groomed every year before. What few flowers that are visible live a very short life. Even the birds are showing sorrow at the change of people's attitude. Yes, I do think they notice how could they not? People seem to be running to, and fro not knowing which way to go. We keep telling ourselves things will be better tomorrow, but instead things seems to be getting worse. I've made up my mind not to complain because I know God is allowing these unpleasant times to happen for a reason. We must be patient, and if necessary switch from steaks to quail for meat. After all we are no better than the Isralite's who were God's chosen people. We are no better than Jesus who was hung on a cross, and died for our sins. If we will keep an attitude like that we will come forth as gold. We must accept the things we cannot change. But we must help our President change the things that he knows God wants changed. It's not what we want, but what God wants.


With all this unwanted, wasted time on our hands, we must do the best we can to keep our sanity. That mostly involves prayer. Prayer is the most powerful weapon we have to fight this evil. I will be in church each and every Sunday even if I don't like the change I see there. God is still moving among His people, and that's all I need to be lifted up above the shadow. I'm sorry to say God is not felt in a lot of churches today. Some of the leaders are quick to deny God's Spirit Gifted people to attend. They use the excuse that those talented ones make the others uncomfortable. Wow! be to those ignorant church leaders. So many will hear the words form God on that great judgment day, “depart from Me ye workers of iniquity, I know you not.” Matthew 7:23. I will never be convinced that Jesus did not say these words, and He meant them exactly as spoken. Man cannot change the Word of God to suit their own desire. They cannot delete the part of a scripture that makes people uncomfortable. While we still have a choice to serve God as we have known Him let us be willing to make the change. Not because we don't love the people who have been so kind to us, but because we know it's best to follow God's direction.


God Bless
