Gratitudes 34

Greetings and Holykisses,

Stopping today, to count and share 

just a few random blessings.

-- Moon and stars watermelon vine.

(I'd forgotten I planted them and walking by thought something was "wrong.")

Looking closer, I began to notice  the beauty in all  the yellow flecks.

Ya see; they're created

 to be ... different. 

You mean it's really okay to be different?!

I'm chewing and chewing on this. 

I remember when the seed package came from Ebay I was 

disappointed because there were so few seeds.  

One hill of watermelon is all there is from one package.

I want to say there were only five seeds in the pack.

--As in five loaves and two fishes.  

;)

More than enough.

A vine with 

unique purpose.

Thanks God.

 

 

 -For the  cross 

in a grapevine

that had to be moved because of the bamboo.

 

Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

-For a beautiful wild bunny

that posed 

just right....

reminding me of Angel Mother's bunny statue..

and memories full of sweet dragonfly kisses.

For corn patches hanging in there 

without rain.

--For little hairy ears.

and Hope! 

Our corn has struggled.  

Especially the other corn patch.  

Recently I turned on the sprinkler and ... forgot all about  it.

It was rather windy that day.

When I remembered ... and ran to turn it off, I found all the corn

lying down.  I waited two days to let it dry out a little and then began

picking each stalk back up and repacking the soil around it better.

So far... they seem  happy again.  But it's been  a rough go of things.  

My hope is inspite of everything... it will ignore 

the heat, ...drought... and forgotten sprinkler.. and 

just make some sweet corn!

(Cmon corn... we have hope and faith.

Everything's going to be alright lil babes!)

-For family meals- all together!

--And holding hands around the table 

to give  thanks.

-For  time the brothers spent with one another this past weekend.

Just  like old times.. except they were new times

-For laughter.

And ties that bind; and knowing they 

love me and I love them without condition.

-For getting to go shoe shopping and just hanging out 

with Michelle.  

-- girl time.

 

-That I get to be a help meet to Myguy.  

-For freedom in our country,

and the men and women who sacrifice for me.

-For a dream I had and the  knowing that it  was a gift.  

It was all ...about more grace.

The setting was a hospital type triage and there were sick and 

dying people everywhere.  

It was quite a dream and I'm glad I wrote it all down coz I can't get over

the many lessons in it and I even got the words

"Just TALK to Jesus."  

 

For a friend who said 

she liked my boots, and commented that she didn't have any.--

Then she said, "Well, except my combat boots of course."  

lol  

God bless her!! 

(and yeah; her combat boots are real)

 

-Sweet peas straight off the vine for breakfast.

 

-The first cucumbers...

a ton of zucchini... already!

and greenbeans for two... even though I didn't cook them long enough

and were hard. lol

 

-For finding favor after being 

disappointed from driving a long ways to pick up an iron bed for 59.00.

The clerk said a lady had already put money down on it.  

... but-  On the way home, I found another for $ ten.

:)  

-For a long motorcycle ride up hwy 7.  

-Feeling Myguy on the seat in front of me..the warm wind

blowing through my opened face shield.

...and knowing our Immanuel was

 with us. 

 

Thank you God for all these gifts... 

and thank you 

for my every thing.
