Blessings. 2 kinds.


Because of no rain, this has been the summer of NO WEEDS.  I was doing the Side Garden the other afternoon and was hot and worn out........and a hummingbird came a flying right around me.  It wasn't like the ones I normally see.  I was standing right in front of the empty hummingbird feeder........I felt really bad.  I fixed it up and hope the hummers will forgive me.



The other day I left a comment on a blog saying I'd like it to rain....and that I'd like to see a hummingbird in my garden.


It's obvious that I can't make it rain...........but I could at least keep the hummer feeder filled up.

I wanted a sweet little hummer to fly through my garden, but there was nothing in my garden to attract one.  You want a lower electricity bill, but keep your A.C. on 65.  You want a flower garden but plant no seeds.  You want line dried sheets to sleep on, but you don't have a clothes line.  You want sweet peace in your home.....but all you do is drip.
Some things just do NOT drop out of the sky.  Some blessings we enjoy come from our own labor.  Some things are cause and effect.
Some are not, and I'm thankful for those things.
(I have seen husbands for young ladies drop out of the sky........and all the while they're thinking their bride fell out of the sky! )
I'm thankful for both..........the rainbow kind of blessings............and the fruit from an effort made............with a package of seeds or a broom!

Good thoughts Mo. Put feet to our prayers. Don't ask for God's protection and then stand on the RR track...there are some things that are just no-brainers.
Keep that Hummingbird feeder full.

(a husband falling out of the sky.....as in popped up from nowhere..... would be a HUGE blessing we have no control over.......like we would a waxed kitchen floor!)

My husband didn't really because I WENT to college for the MRS. Degree. But I know of some men that have fallen out of the sky....

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...
