Good evening Blessed Ones!! I pray that you have had a beautiful day. It has truly been a magnificent day in my neck of the woods. I'm so thankful to God for this day. We have some rainy dreary weather and the sunshine was such a welcomed relief. We have also had a very cold snap that came thru last week and we had to take baby plants to the garage for the duration. Today was the day they got to come back to the deck and in my little greenhouse. Those little plants sure did enjoy the sunshine this afternoon and the wonderful drink that I gave them. I have so many that are in need of up-planting to bigger pots or even their permanent pot. I'm looking forward to some produce from my own little garden. I have small strawberries already. Woohoo!!!!!! We love strawberries and these have been a long time coming. In full disclosure, I have to tell you that I am NOT a gardener!!! All I know to do is plant and pray. I plant and the Lord does the rest. But that's the way it is even with the most knowledgeable gardeners. They plant and God does the rest, so I guess I'm in good company then. hahahaha
Well, I started this blog post back on April 26th, 2021. I started to just delete what I had written. Then again, I just can't seem to delete a post where I have been praising God. He is so magnificent in all of His ways. I praise Him for breath in my body today. I praise Him for the breath in my husbands body today. I praise Him for my family and all my friends. I just praise Him because I am not worthy of any of His blessings. I could never be worthy of His blessings in and of myself. But, God in His infinite love and mercy has provided a way to cover my sin and that is with the shed blood of Jesus Christ. For that, I am most humbled and most thankful for His mercy and grace.
As I ponder the month of June and the fact that it is almost over, something has been weighing heavy on my heart. This is my place to put down my thoughts and let God show me where I'm wrong, let Him show if I'm wrong and let Him help me make sense of stuff that doesn't make sense in my world.
I wish any month but the month of June was called "pride" month. I don't know about anyone else, but I haven't seen a whole lot in this world to have much pride in, especially in the way that the word is now being used. Tell me, what is so prideful in sin???? I do not understand it and I'm thankful and happy that I don't. I have sin in my life and I try to work on it daily, but I do struggle with it. When I see people that say they love the Lord and are actively participating in sin and not trying to rid it from their selves of it, but being boastful and proud of it, I scratch my head and wonder where in the bible they find that their particular lifestyle is promoted. Everything I have ever seen and read in the bible says that homosexuality is an abomination unto the Lord. Sin, period, is an abomination unto the Lord. That is why we MUST strive to get rid of all known sin. If we believe a little bit of the bible, we must believe the whole thing. We don't get to pick and choose what's in the bible. We don't get to tell God what's right and wrong. He has already told us that and what we do with it is up to us. But the Word of God does not change, has not changed and will not ever change to suit or meet our sin. It just won't. I don't care what the sin is. Nations have been brought down because of sin and our nation will be next on the list to fall and go down in the history of the world as the most evil and wicked nation the earth has ever had. Sin destroys. Anything that tries to replace the family unit as God designed it is evil and wicked. That's not my thoughts, those are God's thoughts. Anyone living in this sin and actively pushing for it are evil and wicked. There is no good in them, becuse God is not in them. Everytime, when Jesus healed someone, He said, "Go, and sin no more". This is a choice. Don't even try to tell me that it isn't. Paul addressed it in his letters to those at Corinth. He was speaaking on this very subject and he said, "such WERE some of you". Meaning that they lived evil and wicked lives in homosexuality, but once they had experienced Jesus Christ, they turned from their sinful acts and started living lives that could show that they had changed. I just don't get what there is to be so "pride"ful about when knowingly living such an evil and wicked lifestyle. And then pushing it off on children that have NO idea what it even means. More evil,wicked and abominable behavior. And we all will have a lot to answer for one of these days. People will be praying for millstones to be tied around their necks. So, just in case you are wondering, June is my birth month and I hate the fact that as I celebrate, I have to see all evil and wicked ads encouraging me to celebrate pride month. I can't even celebrate my birthday month any more, I'm certainly not going to actively and purposefully celebrate something that so inherently goes against everything that I believe God to be. God is Holy!!! God has called me to live a holy life. I can't live a holy life and support pride month, and let me be the first to you, "You can't either." It's just that simple. Holiness verses wickedness. That is the choice. Make no mistake, it is a choice. Choose wisely, your eternal destiny depends upon your ability to make the right choice. Now, you know my pet peeve and struggle with my birth month.
I would share a lot of pictures on here, but no one ever responds. I don't know if anyone ever reads my blog anymore or not. Each month, I see that the numbers show that I have visitors, but I don't know if they've even read anything. So, I just don't waste a lot of time with putting pictures up. If I ever feel like someone is interested, I'll start putting pics up.
I hope that wherever y'all are that you are in love with the Lord. If not, why? I hope your life reflects good choices. Just know that God loves you and has made a way for you to be in right relationship with Him. The blood of Jesus covers all sin!!!!! God loves you and so do I!!! hugs, love and blessings for a beautiful weekend, patty
