I've been waiting for the cactus plant in my yard to show me some beauty. It finally happened this morning. I had to climb up in a chair to get the top of this flower. The plant is four of five feet tall, and branches out about a foot all around it. Many blooms are forming on the branches, and it has to be interesting to watch. The thorns are as sharp as needles, and every leaf has a border of thorns. I do not know how this cactus got planted in my garden, but I have decided to keep it at least till it quits blooming. Sometimes our mind just welcomes a bit of wild, but we never want to get too close to it.
I couldn't explain the
reason for unpleasant things even if I tried. I just know they have
always been part of God's creation, and we must live with them.
Without God's Word, the Holy Bible, it would be almost impossible to
be useful in controlling the wild, thorny, human creation. When we
reach an old age our best effort is prayer, and lots of it. We need
to use less fighting words, and just stand back and watch the wild
die off from their own harmful, spiritually unsupported, existence.
We didn't chose them for our flower gardens, but for some reason they
do spring up. If I should be able to vote next year whether I want
the cactus plant in my yard I would vote no. Being the older person I
am, when it is time to vote on who I believe is the less thorny, and
more apt to bring peace, and joy to my heart I will be in the voting
booth for my President. I am a firm believer that actions do
sometimes speak louder than words.
I understand that
President Trump must listen to his advisors, and consider their
thoughts, which he does, but his actions usually back up his words. In
his case words, and actions are necessary to win in this battle of
good against evil. I speak good of President Trump, but I am careful
not to get too close to the cactus plants. My thin skin is not as
thick as it used to be. I bleed more easily, and I am responsible to
use the wisdom God has given me to stay safe, and well. However, if
God should chose me to do a job I rather not do, as has been the case
before, I will obey mainly because I have no choice. The Spirit just
takes over. I'm not expecting that to happen again at my age, but I
would never say never. My life belongs to God, and I am subjective to
Him, At this time I am enjoying my life of peace, joy, and happiness,
with a positive belief of victory coming soon over this thorny, blood
gashing cactus plant we call evil.
God Bless
