Father God let this touch someone’s heart today thank You and praise You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
They say you sow what you reap. To give seed to the soil, pluck weeds, water, pull off dead leaves, water, produce the crop for eating, giving away or sale so others can enjoy. We do this when we pray for others or ourselves. When we pray for our food and for those who prepare the food. Bless them and bless us and those who enjoy the finished product. I was working outside yesterday. Cleaned the shed so I can move the good plant containers in there. I was cutting one of my crepe myrtles down. The Crepe Myrtles have vines that grow on them and strangle them if I don’t cut the vines in time. Once a year I am to trim the branches at the top off so the new branches will grow and the flowers look so beautiful. More better than if I didn’t do this. Like I said those wild vines try to take over the Crepe Myrtle and every once in a while I will cut the grass, take my cutters and cut the vines that are on the ground so they don’t move on to the Crepe Myrtle. Those vines not taken care of would kill anything it wraps it self around. I had two battery operated saws to cut the branches off. Then the batteries died. The other battery on the charger didn’t charge. Hmm! I threw the dead battery away. I am rooting the branches I cut off, so they will grow some more Crepe Myrtles. Hopefully they will be rooted by April. Then I can trim the branches and repot them. I so love doing this. Hate when the battery’s die. LOL! Got 6 baby Agave’s from around the adult Agave. Tomorrow I am going to check the other 4 adult Agaves for some more baby’s. I love this time of year. I still have ferns. Thank God for old sheets to cover. Hopefully it won’t get any colder. I have Cana’s growing. I am going to dig them up and put them in containers. I have been enjoying this weather the past 3 days. In the morning will finish the crepe Myrtle and hopefully start on one of the other two Crepe Myrtles. I will use one saw at a time next time. That way I will have one charged when one goes down. 🙂 I went to Sam’s today to take a break and they had marked down the 20 gallon containers So I bought 5. I should of got all 12. But oh well. Then when I was leaving they had the flowering bulbs as we walked out. Who does that? I would of bought some gladiolus or the others. Oh well maybe they will be there when I go back to Sam’s another day. LO! Everyone needs a bargain once in awhile. I do have daffodils. You know you can grow daffodil’s. In the house under a florescent light. I take coat hangers and undo the wire and use the wire cutters to cut them in half and straighten it and curl the top and it holds the flowers in place.
They are not flowered yet. They are just the leaves right now. But I do have photo’s I took last year of them in bloom. 🙂 I like to dig them up after they flower. They have several more bulbs around the one Daffodil that I planted. Bulbs are the best to buy and plant. I have dug them up with the leaves and plant them in containers. Bulbs are strong. In the winter of 2021 though, the bulbs that was in plant containers was all mushy. They didn’t make it to grow another year. The ones in the ground was really healthy. It is like if you are grounded in Your faith, belief, prayers, loving God and loving others in God you will succeed. Bulbs are a lot stronger that flower seeds. Seeds though are strong in their own community. Like Mum’s the word! Mum’s if they are planted right in nice comfortable seating. They will always grow. Just saying. My mum’s grew back from the freeze last year it took them till October. They lived! I was so happy! Light purple Mums. So lets just say seeds and bulbs are strong if they are properly taken care of. I know I have Aloe Vera I grow in the house only the past 2 years. Last year I put all the Aloe Vera out on the table in their own container and they was miserable. They died with in about 2 weeks and I was still taken good care of them. My friend told me! Susan! What you do is you take them out side a hour each day, for a couple of days and move to 2 hours and then move to 3 hours etc. It is not that the plant is spoiled. It is the plant has to get comfortable in its new environment. Who knew! Now I do.
In Luke 22:32: I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail.
Quote by St. Augustine: Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.
Luke 8:1-15
After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means. While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.” When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” His disciples asked him what this parable meant. He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, “‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’ “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

I thank You and praise You for all the good I have received by Your hand. You have forgiven me all my sin, healed all my diseases and call me Your child. You have redeemed my life from hell and set my feet on the rock. You have guided the most awesome people in my life to encourage, guide and grow with You in Your light. I believe that I may be as ready and willing to proclaim Your mighty works to the people I meet and that many would be released from the curse of sin and the chains of death. Many will, by their choice walking, praising You and singing in the light with You for all eternity.
