Picking Beans With The Lord

I had a lovely time

 in the garden this morning.

 

As I was picking beans I was reminded 

how the Lord watches over the little sparrow 

and how if He cares so much for the sparrow

 how much greater does He care for me.

I'm not a religious person 

but I do believe in the Lord Jesus 

and I cannot get through life without 

His help and reassuring love.

Here I am blanching the beans

(3 minutes in boiling water) 

I've been praying over my garden this year

 because it means more this year 

than most years.

Why, because we need this year to have 

as much normalcy, as possible.

 

Cooling them off from the boiling

in a bath of ice water.

Draining off the water.

 As I was picking the beans 

I was reminded not just to give 

my worries over to Him,  

but to give my fears over to Him, too. 

Our minds can easily wander

and we can so easily have our minds

get scrambled up with negative thoughts.

They come without our trying . . .

but again we can call on His name

and give it all to Him.

Drying a bit before bagging up. 

 

He saved us by going to the cross,

but He also can save us every day,

just by turning our heart & mind over to Him

and giving Him our burdens.

He is wonderful . . .Hallelujah!

Ready for the Freezer.

(11 quart bags)

If you are still reading,

just let me say . . .

I'm not writing this to be preachy 

I'm just sharing with you the time I spent

 picking beans with the Lord.

I've been so heartbroken 

and filled with sorrows . . . 

But there He was in the garden with me. 

Covering me with His love.

I love that He is so available . . .

anytime day or night. 

Thank you all for your prayers

and loving thoughts.

We are grateful and appreciate

you all.  

Keep Smiling!
