Cooking metaphors for gardening? That’s so Lady G!
Bonus: Me watching for fireflies. Unfortunately, you might not be able to see them flash because they go so fast, but at least you can enjoy the sounds of the crickets chirping on a beautiful Southern night 🙂
Happy Father’s Day Daddy! Thanks for being a great DAD! Love you!
If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
–1 John 4:20
Just behind this door resides a noble little fae
Who has an open heart of gold for those who’ve lost their way.
She gathers all her eensy friends;
They know just what to do.
They share their food,
They offer care,
They teach eternal truth,
No questions asked;
No judgments made;
No hoarding of “the loot.”
They know that one can’t pull a strap unless he has a boot.
-Lady G
A simple rhyme from LadyG’s imagination!
Anyway…
Lately, I find myself so disheartened by current events; especially in the U.S.
Seriously! I often wonder if people realize that our children are looking on as adults act like violent and malicious spoiled brats who are singularly focused on what is best for them and theirs.
Everything is…
MINE!
ME!
THEM! They are the problem!
What about US?
What’s our role?
What are we teaching our babies when we behave this way?
What are we teaching ourselves…The world?
We can do better!
Question, do all of the God-fearing folks really believe in and have reverence for God?
Simply put, you can’t love God in heaven while stepping all over your brother on Earth.
I’ve had enough!
And so…
I’ve created my own alternate world where love, kindness and generousity reign.
There must be always remaining in every life, some place for the singing of angels, some place for that which in itself is breathless and beautiful.

Whenever I have time, I like to spend cool mornings outside admiring nature; especially during late summer and fall.
I don’t know, I guess it’s one of the ways in which I count my blessings.
Mornings spent in nature provide the best proof of The Divine!
Ah…but the fireflies in the evening are a sight to see! My Dad told a beautiful story about seeing a magical night-time firefly show while working as a conductor on the railroad.
