This Week’s Envelope Art…
I was watching TV and behind the guy that was talking there was some kind of blurry background. This bottle is what I saw in those shapes. Do you see images in random textures or patterns? I do all the time.
Is Your Burden Heavy?
This week’s Envelope Art…
This song is a bit of an oldie. I ran across it while flipping through a hymn book looking for one to illustrate. I chose it because I know so many people who are going through rough situations right now.
It makes me think of the 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) — Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
My personal paraphrase for this verse is, “Give all your burdens to Jesus, because He is taking care of you.”
Here are all the words of the song by Ralph Carmichael:
Verse 1Is your burden heavyAs you bear it all aloneDoes the road you travelHarbor danger yet unknownAre you growing wearyIn the struggle of it allJesus will help youWhen on His name you callVerse 2Is the life you’re livingFilled with sorrow and despairDoes the future press youWith its worry and its careAre you tired and friendlessHave you almost lost your wayJesus will help youJust come to Him todayChorusHe is always thereHearing ev’ry prayerFaithful and trueWalking by our sideIn His love we hideAll the day throughWhen you get discouragedJust remember what to doReach out to JesusHe’s reaching out to you
Happy All the Time?
This week’s Envelope Art…
There’s that cute kid song–you probably remember it. Happy All the Time, *clap, clap.
But who’s happy ALL the time? I mean, life definitely has its ups and downs. I call it riding the rollercoaster of the vicissitudes of life! Only it isn’t a fun ride ALL THE TIME!
But here is sweet truth from Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) —
You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you.
Boot Up for Gardening!
This week’s Envelope Art…
Garden time! Yesterday, I pulled off the tarp and cardboard from my front garden. I had covered the space during winter. I had cardboard on the back half and a tarp on the front half. When I pulled off the tarp, I discovered a very large fire ant village! So I went to the internet (where else?) to find what to do. I poured three pots of boiling water over their home. But I read that unless I kill the queen, they will rebuild. So Phase II will be to try some commercial stuff that can be sprinkled on and watered in.
I also have to deal with voles and that is another story.
Today, I mixed and added manure, peat moss, and vermiculite to perk up the soil.
Tomorrow I hope to plant.
You can see the pile of cardboard that I need to haul to the burn pile. In the front box with the tower are some peas and beets. In the middle is a fancy sprinkler I brought from a farmer friend. I am excited to try it!
Below are some shots from my patio garden in the back of the house:
And here are my actual boots!
