The other day I viewed a video Munday Martin posted of him sharing the Gospel @ Walmart. I did not go to the extreme that he did but hey I did a part in my own way @ Walmart this morning. I sat early this morning and read some of my book. Instead of going to the pool to read I felt led to go and search for one of those Japanese beetle bag traps. I started at Walmart but before I went in the store Holy Spirit reminded me, I had 1 witnessing tract left. They passed out these tracts last year @ Munday & Jennifer Martin's tent revival and I have passed them out throughout the past year. Holy Spirit wanted me to leave my very last one somewhere in the store where possibly a father on Father's Day would find it and give their heart to Jesus today. As I was walking away from the garden center area Holy Spirit showed me that men just may go purchase a charcoal briquet type of grill. There they were, I graciously placed it on top of a boxed grill on a shelf. They did not have the beetle bags but did get more neem oil spray today.
Off to Lowe's in search now. I found the kit which includes the bait and 2 bags plus a hang tie to attach the bag to a stick or small shepherds hook I happened to have. The one hummingbird feeder will have to be temporarily placed elsewhere since I used that small, really small in size shepherds hook I found at Dollar Tree. This kit says it is supposed to trap over a 5,000 square foot area. Supposed to last the entire beetle season too. The brand is Spectracide and it is supposed to draw Japanese beetles into trap away from ornamentals, flowers and shrubs. Well, I think this will work because once I took off the cover of the lure oh my gosh beetles started flying everywhere probably because they could smell the scent of the lure, I was putting in the interlocking mechanism. They still are flying around. I was able to get a few into the soap suds water and get a few that way. Let's see what happens ok. I will keep you posted. I do see them flying into the bag. I am a determined gal to see blossoms on the crepe myrtle tree this year and if this will help, I will be most thankful.
It was worth giving up poolside reading today to leave the gospel message for someone to find. I already baked the banana cake, made some of my homemade frosting and blended it with the canned frosting. Made the pudding to go in between the layers of cake. I have the bowl and electric beaters chilling in the freezer for when I have to make the whipped cream. Full day so far and I still have some ironing of clothes to do too. There is such a lovely breeze outside today go sit outside or on a patio, deck or porch and enjoy this lovely breeze. While baking I watched SonLife Broadcasting and it was so touching, sharing the Gospel message. There was an altar call and I think 3 people responded. It still touches my heart and tears fill my eyes when one responds to a salvation call. Who knows, maybe someone responded to the altar call @ Walmart today.
This gentle breeze is wonderful while sitting on my patio. I can actually smell the scent of fresh dill as the breeze goes one direction. I still see those beetles flying around in the sky. I kind of get the impression very small scale of what possibly one of the plagues looked like in the bible, but this time swarms of Japanese beetles.
