LEMON TREE PROGRESS  SEPTEMBER 2007

"All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. " 1Cr 6:12

"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."  1Cr 10:23

As Mark reminded us from Psalms 139 this past Sunday...God knows us pretty well.  He recommended that we "pot" ourselves in church and "not forsake the assembling"...we must need something there.

I know I do...see ya Sunday....Sarah

Tree Grown From Ancient Seed Found in Jewish Fortress

Friday , June 13, 2008

By Clara Moskowitz

 

The pots I originally had the lemon trees in weren't draining, so I headed to Wal-mart in Waveland for potting soil and better, $5.00 pots.  The trees are looking pretty raggedy.  I also found some little white bugs all over them as I re-potted.  I had nothing to put on the plants, so I sprayed them with "Deep Woods Off."  It burns my skin...I should have realized that it really wouldn't be good for the plants.  I may have lost a couple (maybe all). 

Not everything that might appear to be a quick fix is good for us.  I think that every time I look at  brown edged and curling leaves on the trees.  If they make it to maturity...its going to be in spite of me.  If I make it to heaven, that will be in spite of me too...it will all be due to the LORD.  The master gardner, shepherd and physician. 

Dormant Seeds...loved this article...kept thinking about the dormant seeds of faith that we can plant in the hearts of people we encountrer.  Toss the seeds...we may not see the germination of that seed, but who can doubt the power of LORD's message in these kernals of truth.  Sarah 

I Am a ' Kept' Woman?

You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,

But GOD kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)

There were times when I thought I could go no longer,

But the LORD kept me moving. (Gen 28:15)

At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,

But the LORD kept my mouth shut. (Psa. 13)

Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,

But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc.., (Matt. 6:25 -34)

When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up.

When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)

I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!

I'm blessed to be 'kept .'

Are you...or do you know a 'kept' woman ?

If so pass it on to her to let them know they are 'too'
