(COOL PROVISION, SHINING MORNING, WATCHING A GOOD THING GROWING! )
1.It seemed like a silly whim to some, that I would opt to re-up with our rent to own air conditioner, when it seemed as though we were going to have a wet,cold summer. But now,when we are locked into a heat wave throughout the entire continuous 48 states,everybody who walks through the door says, "Ah! Oh, it's so nice and cool in here!"
2.This morning when Yon son went out to water the garden, I took advantage of the cool early morning break in the stifling heat, to peek out at the flowers and the vegetables. The tomatoes are coming out in huge multi-clusters,each individual tomato as large as a baseball around, and all the corn stalks have their little soft tassels. We are already plucking a tomato here and there, to ripen in the kitchen window, for our evening salads,and they are sooo delicious! You can't get flavor like that from a store bought tomato...my mouth waters just thinking about them. But now, I am so looking forward to harvesting that sweet corn! And while I was thinking about this, across the lawn, to the tree and the flower beds, came a sheen of water mist, sprayed from Yon son's fine Italian hand* via the water hose, and it made the most beautiful mini- rainbow over the entire yards breadth,that I was moved the thank the Lord for it all. He has truly blessed our efforts in the garden, just as He promised He would.
3.After the time in the garden,we repaired to the Kitchen, ready to close up the house,and rev-up the Air, and we talked over the events of the night,and as is our wont,the conversation just naturally shifted to those of us who are not here right now, mainly being wifey-poo, and Sherry-bear.Haven't heard from Sherry-bear for days and days, but we know it is because she is fulfilling her Christian duty to her neighbor, who has had a broken foot for about three weeks,and needs help right now.Then happily, just as we were talking about wifey, who else should call but that darling sweet-hearted lady, and you should have seen Yon son's face light up when he answered the phone. You don't know, so I am going to tell you now, that they were very close to calling it quits two years ago. They had separated, and I was grieving and seeking the Lord, because they were very much in love when they got married.Then something happened, and they both just sort of gave up. But even though I am not one to interfere in Yon's life, I felt led of the Lord to seek him on their behalf, and I did. Then,I told Yon what I felt the Lord wanted me to say,and he too began to seek the Lord about it, albeit, faintly.Events marched. The thing began to snowball. Every time she came to town, they began to pray together,and to talk things over. And then, something happened, again, and I don't know what it was, but now they are definitely talking about a future together.Now they call and talk several times every day,and they seem closer than ever before. Praise God. It is so exciting to see what the Lord can do, even though people say no power on earth can save this marriage,HIS is the power that can do it!!
