"What Do You Say"

               It's there but don't touch. otherwise it will bring blood. 6-5-2020 Perryton, TX

 

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

"Another Reason To Smile"

                 A return from last year. It never fails to come back. 6-3-2020 Perryton, TX

 

I don't know the name of this flower, but it is a perennial that comes up from the bulb every summer. This is the first bloom this year, but several more will be opening in a few days, It will have eight or ten beautiful flowers at one time. There will be flowers blooming most of the summer, and some in the fall, but I didn't plant, or set out any new ones this year. It's my year to let nature do it's own thing. I am falling in love with anything that looks like a flower. No matter what color or breed, how thorny, and hard to handle they may be, if they have any color, and resembles a flower, I like them. I can't wait for the holy hawks to start growing, and blooming. They grow tall next to the fence, and have blooms all the way up the stalk. Then of course the sun flowers are almost ready to bloom. I've been going out and moving the water hose off, and on all day. I get to see the flowers a lot because of that. It's 95 degree today, and I need to stop watering, but the ground is so dry I can't even use common sense. We haven't had rain in so long. My water bill will be enormous, but I can't be worried about that. Have to keep us all alive.

I just went out and picked the new growth of cherries before the birds got them. We will have cherry pie tomorrow. Twill be the first pie from this cherry tree after 10 years of waiting. There usually is just a few, but this year I got enough for a small pie. However, the birds did get the first ones before I picked them. I didn't know birds ate cherries. Just to know that we raised these cherries is going to make a better pie. Chuck will have salmon patties with tater tots, and salad and cherry pie for desert tomorrow. I just remembered I already had something here for lunch tomorrow without going to the store. What a relief. I am too tired to go grocery shopping.

My, my what a mystery episode that's dominating the news now. I like mysteries, but this political nonsense is becoming too ridicules. My thoughts about it is the ignorance of all these people who try to out smart God, are going to be sorry they ever were born. They certainly will not get away with it, although it seems like our Justice System is broken. These ignorant people don't know that God's System is not broken. The Christians must keep praying for strength to endure the hardship that the evil ones causes us. We will prevail by God's grace. The faithful will be rewarded for their faithfulness. Something wonderful to look forward to. The evil have nothing but constant misery to look forward to. There is a big difference in the one lost sheep, and the entire fold of evil liberals, as I heard one person try to compare.

God Bless

"Put The Pretty Up Front"

The shade doesn't do well for the roses but they are in full bloom, and very colorful. 6-2-2020 Perryton, TX

The roses are strutting their stuff again this year. It looks like it will be a good year for them tp show off. I needed these beauties to help me through a trying time our country is going through. The last two years the roses have refused to enter the pageant, but they are fully ready for the contest this year. They tell me all is well with my soul. If all is well with my soul, then all is well with my tomorrow. I eagerly wait for the happy job of making a big difference in some ones life. I will try to be a rose garden, just like the one I have. Happiness likes company, and I will be seeking that need. My patience have been boosted, and don't ever think you have lost me. I need you as much as you need me. That's what God is all about. Oh, how anxious I am to create a new look in a bedroom at my son's house. I just finished with one, but another room needs more than what I first thought I was ready for. When Chuck moved out of his house a few years ago, he rented it to a single mother whom let her teenage kids decorate any way they wished. One teenage son chose a dark, dark turquoise, almost black, to paint his walls. It was so dark till Chuck called it his dungeon, and used it for a junk room. He was a bachelor, and had no concern about what his house looked like. Now after several years he has hired me to help him because of disabilities. He had two vacant rooms in his three bedroom house. I made one of them into my own headquarters, and am so pleased with my creation. Only using things I already had except for a T V, and one big comfortable chair. The walls were already white, so I have a bright, relaxing, atmospheric room to spend hours in when I go there to do my work, which doesn't take long, but I have to stay five hours each day I work. Now I am ready to turn that dungeon into a room that will make anyone wish they could sleep in it. Don't get me wrong, I am not putting much expense to this undertaking, but it will be all original, and somewhat interesting. Whoever buys this house when Chuck gives it up can lay their own carpet. We pulled up the old carpet only to find nice hardwood floors, but whoever painted the walls partly panted the floors since they knew they were going to lay carpet. The furniture, and some large rugs cover most of the ugly up. At least it's beginning to look like someone lives there.

No, I would not live in that house permanently, unless of course I had to. The way things are looking for America I may be glad to live in that house some day. I could adjust, but hopefully at my age I won't have to. Chuck would not trade his house for mine. He is not comfortable in what most people call nice homes. He is very happy, and contented, with his humble way of life. His teenage days were during the birth of hippie beginnings, and it always pleased him to live that style of life. God bless him for who he is, my son. Totally different than my other three, but has a brilliant brain.

God Bless

"Watching The Power Of Nature Grow"

                              Amazing asparagus. looks like a tree. 6-1-2020 Perryton, TX

 

These asparagus plants came through the ground this spring on March 20, 2020. I took this picture of them today, about 2 ½ months later, and the tallest plant measured 12 feet. Is that not the fastest growing plant in the world? They only made eatable food for a few days, til they reached about three of four inches tall. But it was delicious I promise. The rest of the year they are interesting to watch grow. They require almost no water, but they are planted in mostly sand. These plants are approximately 15 years old. I let them grow from seeds in the house for three years before setting them out.

Today is a beautiful day, and it also is one of my lazy ones. I really can't think of anything interesting to do. Except watch Fox News of course. That really isn't interesting, but it keeps me posted on the terrible news about our country. That takes priority over everything else. There is no need of me denying it, I feel so sure that things will only get worse as time goes by. I believe it is a time of punishment for America because of the evil that had been tolerated for too long. Of course we want to hope we're wrong, but after reading the bible faithfully, it's hard to believe anything good will ever be allowed for America again. People ignored God's message too long. He is now showing that He is still in control, and no matter where the chips fall they will keep falling. The dedicated Christians will always have peace because they have believed God's Word, and obeyed it to the best of their ability. They are not looking for some earthly super power to save them. They have been saved by the Super Power of Jesus Christ.

I am still staying mostly at home but not because I fear the corona virus, but because I feel closer to God in my place of abode. He is fighting this battle for me while I enjoy my comfortable home He has provided for me. This is a house of prayer because our churches have lost most of their faith. I believe people are beginning to realize it now, but it's too late to build another worship tower since the people let the old one be torn down. The modern day of worship is so sad that most people don't want to be identified with that kind of worshipers. Only God can, and is bringing people to their knees like He said in His Word. Every knee shall bow before Him before the end of time. It may take a great deal of pain before some will ever humble themselves to that point. I know I am allowing myself to be hated as much as our President Trump is, but I will gladly suffer with him. We know what our reward will be if we never give into hate. I invite you to join the Heavenly Band, and blow your trumpet loud and clear.

God Bless
