Wow, wow, wow, where has this year gone? Time seems to be passing so quickly as one day runs into the next. With the passing of time comes the contemplation of how one has spent that time. We take each day as it comes and deal with each problem or item on the agenda and at the and of each day, we praise God for it. The day may not have turned out as we would have liked. We may not have gotten as much accomplished as we wanted to. Some days, we even accomplish more than expected. The simple fact of the matter is that if you or I got to participate in the day, we truly are blessed. I try to remember that any day my feet hit the floor, it's a blessed day, it's a good day, it's a day to praise God. So, I'd just like to thank God for His awesome presence in my life, with each breath I take. He has authority over every second of my life. And for that, I'm truly thankful.
The summer has turned off to be a hot one this year. We finally got an inch of rain over the weekend. It was desperately needed. I truly pray that it helps our farmers and that they get more well needed rain. The farmers are truly in the hands of God and I pray that He prospers them in spite of what the enemy is doing.
During the dry spell, I have been watering my little deck garden and it is coming along pretty good. I've go a bunch of strawberries. They are doing pretty good. They are an everbearing kind, so they will set fruit, and then after those come off, they set more fruit. We're on the second set of fruit and I'm hoping for a 3 set. I believe they will actually set that 3rd set of fruit this year. I have several tomato plant and peppers, some okra, just saw some blooms on my fingerling eggplants, beans, cukes, zucchini, yellow squash, red beets and orange beets and I can't remember what else off the top of my head. I have been harvesting steadily. Not a whole lot of produce, but something is better than nothing. And it's a delicious. I think it's more delicious when you grew it yourself. I may be a little biased on that opinion, but I still believe it. hahahaha
What we don't use immediately, I will dehydrate and have for later use. I have several zucchini and yellow squash dehydrated and ready to use for fried squash, like fried green tomatoes. Speaking of fried green tomatoes, I have several pkgs of those in the freezer. We went to a local farm store and got the green tomatoes and then I sliced them and done my usual dredge on them and froze individually and then wrapped 6 or 8, depending on size in freezer paper. I will air fry them and they are so good!!!! That's the only way I'll ever fix them again. No grease is always the way to go, especially for us.
Well, I don't have much more to write about right now. I sure wish I did, but I don't. I do want you to know that God loves you so much. Enough so, that He provided a way for us to be in right relationship with Him and that's thru the shed blood of Jesus Christ. You'll have no better friend than Christ, ever!!!! He is always with you, but you have to believe in Him and accept Him as your Lord and Savior and repent of your sins. Once you do that, instantly you are in the family of God thru Jesus Christ and you'll never spend another second alone or lonely. All you have to do is call on Him and He will be with you. I pray that if you haven't accepted Christ as your personal Savior that you will consider today the day of salvation. You won't regret it.
As I leave you, let me just that I love you all and Jesus loves you more!!!! blessing and hugs, patty
