Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
There is always going to be good seeds to plant. Believe it!
Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet with kindness. Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
It reads in Genesis 1:29-30: Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground, everything that has the breath of life in it, I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
The fullest definition of poverty recognizes that to be poverty-stricken is to be overwhelmed by need, unable to meet basic needs. Make a donation today to help meet the basic needs of children living in extreme poverty.
“Going to seed” is, like you say, is when a plant enters the flowering stage in preparation for seed production. Many vegetables, greens, herbs and roots in particular, are past their prime for eating when they reach this stage of growth. They tend to be tough, woody or bitter.
Like wax beans when they are over ripped inside the wax bean will be 4 or 5 dry beans. Dry beans you can boil in water. Poor man’s meal as they say.
It reads in Colossians 2:7 NIV: Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Dandelions are good Poorman’s food to eat. Flowers: The slight sweetness of the flowers makes it a good choice to use for making dandelion tea, jelly, syrup, and fritters.
Leaves: Use them raw or cooked. Raw leaves from tender young plants are great for making smoothies, juices, and chopping up to add to salads.
Roots: Cook them or dry them. Dandelion roots can be added to soups and stews. Cooking with dandelions is an easy and nutritious way to make use of an edible plant you may have growing in your backyard. From flower to root, the entire plant is edible. Dandelion greens are packed with vitamins A and K and can be used raw or cooked. Vitamin K is critical for your body’s formation of blood clots. Without it, you could bleed to death from a simple cut. It may also help maintain bone strength in older adults. Foods that are particularly high in vitamin K include: Vitamin A is important for the eyes and skin, the immune system, and for normal growth. Can protect Your Eyes from Night Blindness and Age-Related Decline. May Lower Your Risk of Certain Cancers. Supports a Healthy Immune System. Plays a vital role in maintaining your body’s natural defenses. This includes the mucous barriers in your eyes, lungs, gut and genitals which help trap bacteria and other infectious agents. Reduces Your Risk of Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder. Supports Bone Health. Out of all these known vitamins to much can be bad also. But if you have no money and no food. Dandelions and beans. This would be the first thing I would go for to put nutrient in my system so I wouldn’t starve. It reads in Psalm 18:30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
What is sad is we see so many in poverty. Seeing people everywhere who need a roof over their head. I met this guy in the woods that does eat the dandelions and other stuff that grows in the woods. Jim one time had a job, family and a home. He lost his family, his job and his home. Jim also goes to church. Jim don’t want no assistance he makes the choice to get around and he survives. God is going to keep blessing Jim. God also will keep blessing all the others who live in the streets.
I look at these wild plants growing in the yard from the rain. They all of a sudden just sprung up everywhere. I have different plants I can put in containers. Because of the summer heat. I put most of the plants in containers by both doors. So, I could water and feed them on my schedule. Before the rain the grass and everything else was dying except for the plants in the house and by my outside doors. I have a tripod that waters my grass that my son Josh bought me. So, the grass just was dying where the sun really set its heat on it.
It reads in Mark 4:26-29: He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain, first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
One time in my life I have had to live in the park with my children. I found out about the dandelions from my Uncle Teddy. See they can be eating raw to survive. There was no social media to assist me. So, God put others in my path who helped me.
I think well: There is times when we are going to struggle, but God always gives us a way out especially His believers who journey His way. Even if you’re not a believer so you will look to Him and see He is with you through it all.
It reads in Jeremiah 29:11 NIV: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You that You work everything for Your good. I thank You that no one is poor as they walk with You and are guided Your seeds of love and faithfulness. Beneath my feet is proof of Your commitment. You established the earth and set it in motion. Every seed proves of Your reproduction in life. Your creation, Your children and Your greater purpose speaks volumes of Your enduring faithfulness. I believe that I will carry on testimonies of Your holiness to others in my family and not because I am old, but I am bold as You made me. Let my praises grow through my spiritual family as their testimonies add Your light to others. I believe I will speak of Your goodness to those who not yet know You. May I always be a faithful child who imitates the faithfulness of my Father in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
