Sowing Generously: The Law of Spiritual Causality teaches that there is an underlying cause for our relative degree of blessing from God or non-blessing.
Father God let this touch someone’s heart today. Let them know they are loved and cherished by You. I thank You and praise You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
I love eating cucumbers. In salad. Or just wash them and eat them almost whole. I like to carve the seeds out of them and plant them. One cucumber can make several plants. You spread the seeds on a old cookie sheet. Let them dry in two days. You can plant them in individual containers about 1-inch pots. Or you can till your soil where you want to plant them and put the seeds in rows. There is like a thousand or more seeds when dried out. You will be amazed. Because from Spring till the end of Fall you can grow cucumbers. It is something that is a challenge, but it is worth it. Cucumber’s love water. Just saying.
Then if you peel the cucumber peels. You can put them on a cookie sheet and dry the peels in the sun. Once they are dried out you can grind them or break them up. Let me tell you a little secret. If you have children and bugs in your cupboards. Then you take Bay leaves and dry cucumber peels and grind them together. You use the powder of cucumber peels and Bay leaves. Place it under your sinks, in the cupboards, closets in all corners. This will keep roaches and other pests out of your way. And when your children go play under the sink, they won’t get sick. I used to put everything up high. I didn’t want my babies crawling and getting into anything dangerous. You could have the cleanest floors, but babies are like little detectives. Thy would find the tiniest piece of dirt you left behind. Lol! Just saying!
Like green beans you can grow them through to summer on your fence and during Fall whatever green beans you didn’t pick you will have beans. That’s right! Green beans turn into beans that you can cook and make with hotdogs. Just take the beans out of the dried Greenbean covering. Clean them and then boil them. It is a joy that never leaves. Whatever you plant you will reap a great harvest.
My mom used to say when you give away what you don’t need or if you give what others need. It is like Christmas to them. You will get back tenfold. It is so true. We used to go to rummage sales, and it always felt like Christmas getting hand-me-downs perfectly new to us. That is not always going to happen, but you can feel good knowing people are not going without because you gave.
{“Remember this: The person who plants a little will have a small harvest, but the person who plants a lot will have a big harvest. Each of you should give as you have decided in your heart to give. You should not be sad when you give, and you should not give because you feel forced to give. God loves the person who gives happily. And God can give you more blessings than you need. Then you will always have plenty of everything, enough to give to every good work. It is written in the Scriptures: “He gives freely to the poor. The things he does are right and will continue forever.”} “2 Corinthians 9:6–9”
Here is an example. I have watched over the past 30 years these people work hard. A little bit at a time they took probably 24 years building a church and last week after they have been opened, I saw it plowed down. I don’t know if they are building another one. But I have watched as they worked hard with their family. I have been praying for them. They were our neighbors at one point and time, and we didn’t talk. But our children played together, grew up together. But it is only proof that it takes a lot of God’s children to build a church. I am still praying for them. God knows and God will take good care of them. Because they are spiritually rich in Him. As it reads in 2 Corinthians 8:9~ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
