“Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;”
King James Version (KJV)
Hello all! It’s that time again!
Just sharing some pictures from our garden, from the past. Not every year will bring you all the goodies you want and need. But we do make an effort to try.
The way how the economy is as of today, we all must be prepared to dig in the dirt and get our hands dirty to grow our food. Forget about how it was back in the day of 3 years ago things are getting serious.
Getting ready to work in the garden is work. Not glamorous. You have to prep your beds or containers you need to grow food. You need the soil, manure and other natural nutrients as well. Egg shells, coffee grounds and even banana peels! These are not expensive because if you drink coffee, eat eggs or bananas you can use the remains.
It is hard work to keep the garden healthy. But with GOD leading and protecting us in all we do, we will be fine.
I will suggest that if you do have a garden, have a fence too. Around all of your garden to help protect them from annoying critters like rabbits. They will kill off you young trees with their sharp teeth.
When you have a garden, be prepared to can your food as well so it will last you until the next year. Or give some away. It takes alot to feed a family for a year, so calculate what want to eat, how often by how many are in your family.
We do. And we need to grow what we want to eat. Some plants take up more space than others. But to grow string beans you will need at least a half pint per serving once canning it.
We do enjoy the food fresh. But your own canned food will always taste better than store bought.
Even seeing your flowers 💐. Sunflowers do need their space if you are growing the mammoth variety for the seeds for food.
I love sunflowers 🌻!
Your hard work will always make you smile. Especially after you sit back and you see how and what our beloved FATHER GOD has allowed you to grow and eat.
Tomatoes for homemade tomato sauce! It was yummy!
Have a blessed day! Start growing your food even if you just start in a 5 gallon bucket on your porch. It’s a start! Please click on the like button below. Pass this forward so others will get a blessing from the word of GOD too!
I have some to share with you. February was once to be acknowledged as Black History month. But it is not considered important to those who are enjoying the life of white privilege.
Closed ears and eyes and not wanting to know the truth is showing how many white people are content in how things are right now. But this is living a lie, and this is not right.
Let me tell you our GOD sees these things from HIS throne in heaven. And HE sees the evil that is and was done for the sake of money and power.😔😔😔
And when Black History is told along with other people of colors history for truths sake and to gain understanding…it is ignored. Why?
See when people of color need to work, attend schools, shop or live in areas where white people are percentage wise more populated there are issues. It seems like anxiety issues arise amongst many of the white people for no reason. And will start to make unnecessary trouble from their feelings. Feelings from how they were raised. Not good.
There are white individuals that seem to say or do things to people of color who are minding there own business. But because of the lies that they have been taught as a child they will do and say things are never good.
There are those who do not know any people of color who will discuss and watch from a distance and make assumptions based on those stereotypes told to them.
So they are not able to hold an intelligent conversation. The first thing asked is where do you people live? And then ask if you live an area where they see the majority of Black live.
Proverbs 6:16-19 – These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Proverbs 19:5 – A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
Proverbs 19:9 – A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
Exodus 20:16 – Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Ephesians 4:25 – Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
1 John 2:4 – He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Revelation 21:8 – But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
John 8:44 – Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Matthew 19:18 – He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
1 Peter 5:8 – Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1 John 4:1 – Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 13:9 – For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
John 14:6 – Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Going into the grocery store or any store really is an issue. There are some white men who assume when they see a black woman she is there to commit fornication with them. There are those who assume black women over sexed. Not so if these men are doing the looking.
Until this wound in the world is healed, it will always need attention. Until those of us who see this type of evil will do their GODLY best to actually want to do what is right, and make attempts to give understanding to the ignorant as #JaneElliot is doing. Those who are benefiting from this evil will complain about the victims talking about it to have justice ⚖️.
This wound is deep. And is still open and affecting others as you read this. Because one of the articles I have come across such as “The Jezebel Stereotype ” that is put on black women is horrible! But truthful.
So if you decide to read this article, beware of the harsh things you will read. It was not written in a Christian mindset. This is to let you know , these white men who seek after black women are assuming the Stereotype and hoping they will get lucky. And won’t.
Not unless the woman is deceived by them. Pretending to be honestly looking for a long term relationship for marriage to this black women. Or if she is unsaved as the white male is and don’t care about their souls, he might just get lucky. And yes, there are promiscuous immoral men who try their luck.
What some of the early European men concocted for enslaved African Women.
I am not sorry to post this because it is not solved. There are still ignorance in the world committing evil of baring false witness on people they do not know. Starting trouble with those who are minding there own business.
For those of you dear white people reading this. Look at what your circle of friends do and around black people. And if you don’t have any black friends at all , you maybe part of the wound that can’t heal.
I pray that you all will have a blessed Easter Sunday as we give thanks to our beloved GOD and HIS SON JESUS! For GOD and JESUS has made a way for all mankind to dwell with them in heaven and enjoy eternal perfect peace!
The path to righteousness, love and heaven is through our savior JESUS! JESUS paid for our ticket 🎟 home to be with HIM for all eternity!
I do pray that you all will read the chapter about Easter today to encourage you all to know how much our beloved FATHER GOD, the creator loves mankind. If you have no Bible I cut and pasted an excerpt for you! It is from kingjamesbibleonline.com
When I think about what our beloved FATHER GOD had done, by sending HIS beloved son JESUS here to this earth as a living sacrifice…I have no words except thank you dear FATHER GOD with a truly grateful heart ❤️
JESUS did not have to go through what HE did here on earth you know? JESUS could have called 10,000 angels to rescue HIM and let us all burn in hell. 🔥
But love and compassion gave us another chance to live, repent and be saved by HIS blood on the cross!
JESUS is strong. More so than any one human can ever understand. For all of those who were his enemies , who hated HIM, who nailed HIM to the cross, who spat on him, slapped HIM, stabbed is side while on the cross, even more evil we don’t know. JESUS said on the cross to forgive them as HE was still alive suffering so on the cross to FATHER GOD!
Luke 23:34King James Version
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
On the cross JESUS still had compassion for all of those who hated HIM! On the cross!!! No one but JESUS could be this loving and forgiving that walked the face of this earth so perfectly. NO ONE!
Easter praises belong to CHRIST JESUS. Not to a rodent with chicken eggs. That is insulting to JESUS. To put a rabbit which is in the rodent species of animals and chicken eggs which are unborn chickens. Not respectful at all.
Give respect to our beloved JESUS! Thank JESUS for the loving sacrifice HE gave for all mankind so we will know our souls will be in heaven for all eternity. JESUS paid the price, we don’t have do any good works to pay our way into heaven. JESUS has done it all!
Stay in prayer to our beloved FATHER GOD!
Have a blessed Easter, stay in prayer 🙏🏾. Please click on the like button below and pass this blog forward to encourage others!
Getting my ideas together for a tract for Ephesians armor of GOD.
Hello everyone! I do pray that you all will have a blessed day! For this is another day that the LORD has made! YAY!
You know, I maybe an oddball to a lot of people just because I love GOD! But this is my choice to do so….and it makes be happier than anything else in the world as to believe in GOD and follow JESUS!
There are many people who love GOD so, and his beloved son JESUS that we want to share the joy! And some people through the loving word of GOD or in actions of caring. Some of us through illustrations. and Bible tracts. I do both. And what I have always liked was those #Jack Chick bible tracts. I liked the drawings, and the message. I was direct and to the point. As a child riding the subway with my parents there were people handing out these tracts. They are like little comic books….but not really comical. They were meant to lead people to the LORD and be saved.
Yes they were scary, but they are only scary if you do not know the LORD yet. And hated messages if you love the sin you are in, and not the LORD.
But I was never able to keep one. I would take it to school or home and it would be worn out and lost .
Seeing how some people who did not like the Jack Chick.com tracts and I did, I wanted to know why they felt the way they did. They felt as though they were being condemned by those who felt they were “holier than thou.”
And I get that too. They are very direct and preach hard about heaven and hell through situations in life. But no one I know likes to be yelled at and having their finger wagging at them. That includes me. I have met women who felt I should not wear pants made for women (even on a cold day under a dress), or make-up to be well groomed, fashionable modest clothing So yeah. I have had my share of those types of Christians judging me too.
I want to show the love of JESUS in my tracts I am working on. I will share them with you once I am able to somehow save them in a PDF file. I feel I need to spread the love a JESUS in a way that is not pointing the finger , using scare tactics and yelling.
Drawings and more drawings. You know you have to be able to fit the drawing and the scripture on to one sheet of paper. and that can get tricky. You do not want the images or words to be cut off when working on the tract.
The first idea or design always takes me longer to do because it is an adjustment period. Re-figuring how things need to be. And always with the thought that you are doing this with our GOD in mind.
Before adding more detail to drawing.
As I get to the point where i will add some color, I will then need to be able to show you all the finished product of encouragement . It takes me longer than some others. I do have a full time job and other projects I do. So be patient and you will see the finished tract. I might not add color as how I see Jack Chick did not to his. I have to give it thoughtful prayer!
Have a blessed day. Stay in prayer! Avoid negative people who aim to disrespect you in all ways possible. They are distractions from keeping your eyes on the LORD.
GODs Team! Be encouraged.
