Good day sisters!
I hope, above all, that you are enduring strong in your faith in Christ and being obedient in all things.
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:33
Matthew 6:33
"And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so."
Genesis 1:11
Genesis 1:11
God has provided all kinds of plants for our use. So today I was just sharing a bit on how we preserved some produce (mostly plums).
This preserving unit had been sitting in our storage shed, unused for about 16 years. We decided to pull it out this year and see if it still worked. It did.
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
Genesis 1:29
This preserving method has these rubber rings.
You put them in the unit, cover with water and turn it on for an hour.
We did some pears too.
It was a blessing to do. I can vaguely recall doing it when I was much younger but not in a long while. One of the jars had an old label on it from 1999. Now that is a long time ago!
While I was in the process, I sent a pic to my sister in the Lord and she sent it back with this scripture verse she added. Thank you sister:-) You're a hard worker in the gospel!
We know as believers we are to be producing good fruits which are works of the Spirit and obedience. What are the fruits of your life?
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Matthew 7:13-23
May that not be any of you reading this. I pray you are doing the will of the Father.
And tonight we had the first corn...
And just another great blessing...fresh eggs.
And this funny little hen didn't want me to get them today:-)
So that is a few bits and pieces of my keeper at home things I got to do. Maybe for some of you it was interesting and refreshing to see. The Lord has blessed so many of us with great abundance. Praise His Name!
I love this scripture...
"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation."
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Amen!
Our hope and joy shouldn't come from things in this life.
As Jesus said....
"The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment."
Luke 12:23
"For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
2 Corinthians 5:1
So may we set our affections and hopes on things above and value what truly matters.
Love in Christ,
...from a daughter of God.
