Chatting

It’s after 7:00 tonight as I sit before this screen, and I wonder what will I put on this page.

Today, Jerry and I planted collards and cabbage, is it seedlings, slips, tiny plants; I’m not sure, but they are in the ground. Nine collards and 6 cabbages: 3 green, 3 purple. And we prayed over them, out loud. Both of us. It’s a sweet memory for me. Do y’all do things like that too?

And we went to Aldi’s. Got a great buy on Organic Jasmine white rice. I know brown is said to be better for you, but I like the white, and we will eat it. 😊 And we found some pasture raised eggs — they say. As soon as I crack that egg for cooking, I’ll know if it’s pasture raised. The yolk will tell! And Jerry says, “that’s no joke.”

I’ve been investing in wooden cooking utensils. Acacia wood, some say is better than other hardwoods, and Teakwood exceeds Acacia. So they say. Have you noticed we often heed what ‘they say’ and we don’t even know who they are? Even so, they look good on the counter. 😊

I like keeping little things in view, like this little cardinal. Things that others may not even notice, but I do, and they remind me of special times and special people who have graced my life.

Okay, that’s probably enough chatting for tonight, for tomorrow morning.

Taking a Walk

We almost missed these scenes because when we arrived on site, we thought it doesn’t look like there will be much of a sunset tonight. But we stayed, and we got out of the car and took that walk.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is follow through with the plan even when it looks fruitless.

Is it Good for Me?

I thought this was an interesting video. Perhaps you will too.

I was just talking with friends today, saying that I actually like Barley. For me, it makes an enjoyable breakfast. Blackberries, a little maple syrup, and some nuts only enhance the nutrition and the enjoyment, you understand. 😊
Speaking more about barley, here’s a recipe for barley bread. I haven’t tried it yet. Let me know if you do.
That’s about it — see ya next time.

From the Deck

I planted myself on the deck today for some devoted time — much later than my usual,  I won’t bore you with my sourdough bread story that kept me up late. 
I went out to the deck. It is not a fancy view, but the greens in all their majestic display made my whole soul breathe deep and smile. 

And I said, Father, what must Your Home be like?! I am imagining He said, ‘ It’s your Home too. ‘ There are some passages of Scripture to support my imagination.  I’ll get to those in a bit. 

This planet is on course for destruction as we know it, and has been since the sin of man marred it. These thoughts were full of sorrow, but then came the glorious truth! 

Man has indeed marred this earth. Man mars everything he touches, and will continue to do so for as long as man remains under the dominion of satan.  BUT!

The glorious truth! When we who have been born again get to Heaven, we will not mar the place! We will not lessen its value! We will not deplete it! We will bring no harm of any kind or degree to that Perfect Place! Father GOD has and is continuing to build us so we can live there without sin, without doing any damage whatsoever to that beautiful place.
The Place of Perfect Loveliness that exceeds the beauty here by eternity!  
You do agree that this creation here is beautiful, right? Then, Heaven can only far exceed our best imaginations! 

I am glad I came to the deck today! It’s beautiful out here, but HOME—well, we will see just how lovely it is one day soon.  A day that will not end. 

We hope you enjoy the pictures.
