Fruitbearers

It is always exciting to see little stems and leaves poke through the ground where we planted seeds.  However, because of our inexperience, we cannot tell very well which ones are the vegetables/fruits we planted and which ones are weeds .  Some are obvious but some are not.  We can see zucchini and green beans growing but we are not sure about the rest.  Last weekend, we planted corn seeds.  The weather here in Oregon has been pretty nice…some rain…some sunshine. By the way, this post is part of a gardening challenge hosted by Kathy Brodock at Teaching Good Things . If you like to do crafts, you can get a free Garden Crafts eBook here .

This is my first time participating in the Motivate Me Monday meme hosted by Sarah Mae at likeawarmcupofcoffee .  Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.  Welcome! I desire to live for God. I desire to use my time, talents, and treasure for His glory and according to His will.  " He has showed you, O man, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God ."  Micah 6:8  There are many injustices in the world today.  One of them that truly grieves me is "abortion", merciless killing of the innocent human-beings.  Those unborn babies never get a chance to "redeem their time".  For those who have experienced abortion, please know that the Lord loves you very much and He is willing to heal you and forgive you.  Sarah Mae graciously shared her abortion story here (part 1) and here (part 2).  It’s a beautiful & powerful testimony to the Lord’s grace, mercy, compassion, an

My 15 year old daughter is very passionate about saving the unborn (okay, our whole family, not just she ).  She has been participating in Steps for Life (fund-raising event for the Pregnancy Resource Centers) since she was 5.  Pregnancy Resource Centers  (PRC) help 8,000 women (and pre-born babies) annually through 5 Centers, providing
