"Is Something Out Of Place"

This lovely home is less than two blocks from my home. It looks like a mansion up side of mine, but I'm proud to have it close by. 6-5-2018 Perryton, TX

This house is one of the nicer homes in Perryton, Texas. It is located less than two blocks from my house. No other home close to it would be priced within hundreds of thousands of dollars to it. It is a two story, and sits on a corner lot. The side facing the street from the north is just as large, and beautiful as the front part. The original owners had to sell when the economy plunged. Someone probably got a real bargain in this house. I have always loved this house, and am proud for the people who live there. I have not met them yet, and probably never will. I am thinking they do not fit in with the rest of people who live in the neighborhood. I'm not saying that they think they are better, but society just has a way sometimes of choosing our friends for us. I would love to meet my blessed neighbors, and it could possible happen. Until then I will enjoy their home right along with them.

How many times have we wished we could get into someone's mind. I believe that is why God made every one of us in his own image. No human being knows the mind of God because He is The Mind. Each and everyone of us have a part of that, “The Mind.” I do believe that somehow we all work together with God to manage a world without boundaries. Therefore we all should be proud of who we are, unless like some, the evil minority should admit their evil, and plead the blood of Jesus to be evil no more. How do I explain the pain, and suffering, of innocent children? Should they be proud of who they are? To some extent yes. I believe their mind is part of that scripture that declares, “it is not meant for man to know the mysteries of God.” Again we cannot judge what is in the minds of suffering children, or pray that God will change what He has created. We need to give thanks always unto God for what we have, and be compassionate for those who have less. Their hearts may have something that we cannot see, therefore give thanks unto God for loving the suffering little children. They are part of, “ The Mind.” What about those whom we say have no mind. Unless they were born without any brains, they do have a mind. It may not be what we call normal, but they do have part of, “The Mind.” God had a purpose for them or they would not have been born. May God bless the Angels who take care of them, and yes, they should be proud of who they are. Not all of us was made for the same job, but it takes all kinds of jobs to make God's world keep turning. Keep smiling even though you make think you haven't got anything to smile about.

God Bless

"A Day To Rest Not Feast"

     Sunday birdwatching. Front porch view. Also watering yard. 6-3-2018 Perryton, TX

 

I did stay home from church today. It was just a day I needed to rest and enjoy the birds. The birds were very entertaining bathing in the water from the sprinkler. I sat on the front porch and watched them for an hour or so. I keep hoping the humming birds will come back. Everything is fresh and clean just waiting for them. I do have a little bull frog who helps me when I'm cleaning out the flower beds. He gave me a scare yesterday when I almost picked him up with a hand full of mint. He didn't hop off, just sat and watched me. The 8” red worm the size of my little finger is what made me want to quit digging. I could never stand worms. I can put a minnow on a hook, but not a worm. I am always on the look out for little snakes when I'm working in the flower beds. Occasionally I see one of them. They are absolutely a nightmare to me.

Tomorrow, (June 4) is my daughter's, my only daughter, birthday. I would love to be with her to celebrate, but life just won't let us do all the things we would like. I live nearly 400 miles from her, so our physically visits are not often enough. I did see her two weeks ago at my granddaughter's college graduation. I wished her an early Happy Birthday then. I sent her a card, and told her I loved her. All of her life she has done wonderful things for me. Every room in my house, the garage, the yard, the storage house, and many times over, I have her gifts to remind me of how sweet she has been. She never came back home after going to college, because she met, and married the man of her dreams. After forty years they are still happily married. Can any mother wish for more than that? Thank you Lord. Life just gets sweeter every day.

I can t get my mind off that cherry pie something told me I need to make. I survived the desire to eat some strawberry cheese cake I bought for Chuck last week. I did eat a small piece, but now I am craving one of my own home made cherry pies. Sometimes we just have to cave in, and regret it for days. Nothing seems to satisfy my craving for cherry pie. I will not, absolutely not, buy ice cream. How can I eat cherry pie without ice cream? I think I can. Pecan pie has been on my mind also. Why all the rich foods all at once? I have sacrificed them for so long, why don't the desire leave me alone? My menu for today so far has been three small links of sausage, two small waffles with a little syrup, and a pot of coffee. For lunch I had a ground beef patty with mushroom, and onion gravy, and a dish of mixed vegetables. Now I'm about to make a cherry pie. What is wrong with me? I still have some pants with elastic waists.

God Bless

"Silver And Gold Have I None"

Gold and silver have I none but such as I have give I unto you. Acts 3:6--6-2-2018 Perryton, TX

 

I'm so happy this Saturday afternoon to be home watering my yard. It has been an all day event. I cleaned out the flower beds, and have been watering every since. The young robins were enjoying the water from the sprinkler. They were so pretty. I am very tired, and must miss the Widower's meeting this evening, but it's feels nice to have worked all day. My yard is looking much better. I probably have set the tone for rain tonight, but if so that's alright with me. The more water the better. I have a silver, and gold rock in my flower garden that I got in this picture. The silver rock is a natural one, but the gold one is a nugget that has been sprayed with gold paint. They add something special to the collection of flowers, and bird feeders, and such. I am rushing up the maturity of the flowers, but it's just fun to work with them. Several of the plants haven't even come up yet. I welcome them any time. The rose bushes look so trim without all the dead branches that had collected among them. Even with gloves, and a long sleeve shirt I still sacrificed a little blood. Those throne y beauties sure can dare you to cut on them. They got a hair cut any way. I probably cut out ten pounds of mint plants that I fight every year. They smell good, but they multiple faster than any other weed. I can't get completely rid of them.

I'm planning on relaxing, and watching television this evening. I'm not for sure if I will make it to church tomorrow or not. My bones are starting to feel sore already. I may continue with my relaxing tomorrow. I'm sure I will be visiting with friends on the telephone, and may be invited out to eat lunch. I will be cooking though for Chuck. He gets tired of batching all week so I try to cook a lot for him. I'm always glad for Sunday's to come and go. I'm anxious to start another week, and wait for news about the safety of our country. I feel sure that all of the corruption that is being uncovered in our government will not go without many being seriously punished. If it does, it will be the cause of a Civil war in the worse way. Either way we are looking at plenty of excitement to follow. Again I warn people to stay close to God, because He is the only hope for innocent people. We must bear in mind that our schools are not even a safe place for our children anymore. The evil has grown just like I mentioned about the mint in my flower beds, it has multiplied and spread out into the most sacred places in our world. It's roots are too deep to be completely removed. We must be aware always. God will take care of his children, but we must trust, and honor Him.

God Bless

"Beauty Still Exists"

                These delicate little begonias are making me happy. 6-1-2018 Perryton, TX

 

These delicate little begonias are not much to look at now, but they have come so far from behind till I am excited. When I first set them out it looked impossible for them to survive. They gave me a big surprise. I love to baby the babies, and watch them start to grow. It's just part of me that makes me weird. I don't want your flowers I want my own. Isn't that just like a mother. My children, and grandchildren, are all part of my eternal flower garden. They never stop blooming, and I believe will continue to bloom in heaven. I will care for them until I die.

I had another good day at the Center today. Enjoyed sitting with some friends whom I hadn't see for awhile. I hope they start coming more often. I came straight home from the Center, and have done almost nothing since. It was a day of rest for me. However, I did make a pot of chili for Chuck and I. Some of it will go in the freezer for later on. I may take some to a friend who fell yesterday and broke a shoulder. She is going to have it rough for awhile. She was already dealing with health problems, and she did not need this accident to happen. This lady has always bounced back from all knock-downs, and I'm sure she will again. Living alone makes it harder, but somehow she manages.

I have watched a lot of news today. I am seeing happen just what I had predicated would happen, although it hasn't completely materialized yet. I had said I believed President Trump was about to hand us another big surprise when he called off the Summit with the North Korean Leader, Kim Jong Un. Today I am hearing the Summit probably will happen at the same time as scheduled at the same place. If only people would trust our President after over a year of proof that he will do what he said he would do. It's so easy to pick out the Trump supporters who are weak with their faith in him from those who absolutely are afraid that he will make America Great again. America is divided, and people need to realize that and start helping our President take control of this Great Country. We Christian people who were taught to do this, “if you can't say something good about someone don't say anything at all,” are now going to have to speak out whether it be good or bad. It's hard for us to do, but God told us in His Word that we will have to be judges in time. He said even the Angels will judge. This means we will have to take lots of knocks, but let us not fail to do our job. We are now living in a time of “knock down, and drag outs.” I have already started my judging, but need to get a little braver with it. God help us all to know the difference between wise, and stupid. 

God Bless
