I Decided To Take My Own Advice That I Suggested To Y'all

The other day I suggested that you possibly get your bible and sit outside to read it . I did that very thing today and I will show you a picture of the view I had while I sat and read the bible. I am in the Book of Acts now and I just love the action that takes place in this book. I you never read it I suggest reading it and if you have already read it I suggest reading it again. There is so much hope for us while reading it. I just read about how non-Jewish people can belong to the church, you know the vision that Peter was shown. When I went to see what chapter I read today I was intrigued by the next chapter and read it just now. The account of how Peter was freed from prison by an angel of the Lord. Then go on and read the account how Herod died. My bible tells me "Immediately, an angel from the Lord killed Herod for not giving glory to God, Herod was eaten by maggots, and he died." I would imagine there was a bit of pain and suffering involved to be eaten by maggots. The way it is stated it sounds like he was alive as he was being eaten by the maggots. I would think that would be a bit unpleasant. Causes one to seriously think about always giving the glory to God right!

Back to the sunflowers in my garden now. Do you like that about me or not how I jump around when I write? You have to realize something about the condition of the soil in which I plant my little gardens in. You need to know this information. The areas are basically covered with decorative rocks and then that sheeting that is used to minimize weeds from growing and when you dig into the ground it is basically clay. So, in order for me to see beautiful things grow I have to add soil to the clay after finding the spot where I will plant. Then having to cut away that lining in order for me to dig the hole to plant what I am planting. You may look at my flowers and say 'Oh that's nice I have really seen much nicer.' Don't be too quick to judge because I am not just planting into rich soil, I have to create a base for the plants to grow in. I am creative and like to try  new things. Prior to me living here I was blessed to have an actual vegetable garden in which I grew corn and beans among other items too. Since there is no place for a vegetable garden I began to plant chives, parsley, and dill in planters. They grow for me. I experimented one year I wanted to see if corn would grow in a pot. Guess what? It did I had four stalks of corn that year and I was then able to use the stalks after they dried out as part of my Autumn decorating. No idea of yours is too small to try, I encourage you to expand your thinking. A great idea always starts out as a thought. How many great ideas did you have that you let go to the wayside? I encourage you to resurrect them. As you rest this evening ask God to refresh your memory of some of those great God given ideas and I trust He will. Now learn from the example of Herod and give the glory to God when it is resurrected OK.

Look close and you will see the bee getting nourishment from the sunflower.
