Hi Meg! We are having storms today. Lots of rain so far. It was very dark this morning, sun never even got through the clouds. Been raining for 2 hours already. Pennies From Heaven, so far not too many.
To: trisham
Hi Trisham, sorry to read you took a fall the other day. Hope you are feeling better.
To: TheConservativeParty
Good day for a nap!
Hope the storm isn’t damaging.

Shopping with Liam June 23, 2015
He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.
Genesis 3:15
My son Liam loves to pick dandelions for his mother. To date, she hasnt wearied of receiving them. One mans weed is a little boys flower.
One day I took Liam shopping with me. As we hurried past the floral section, he pointed excitedly to an arrangement of yellow tulips. Daddy, he exclaimed, you should get those dandelions for Mommy! His advice made me laugh. It made a pretty good Facebook post on his mothers page too. (By the way, I bought the tulips.)
Some see in weeds a reminder of Adams sin. By eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve brought on themselves the curse of a fallen worldrelentless work, agonizing birth, and eventual death (Gen. 3:16-19).
But Liams youthful eyes remind me of something else. There is beauty even in weeds. The anguish of childbirth holds hope for us all. Death is ultimately defeated. The Seed God spoke of in Genesis 3:15 would wage war with the serpents offspring. That Seed is Jesus Himself, who rescued us from the curse of death (Gal. 3:16).
The world may be broken, but wonder awaits us at every turn. Even weeds remind us of the promise of redemption and a Creator who loves us.
Help us, Father, to find You even in the midst of all lifes pain and aggravations. Forgive us for so often overlooking the beauty You have planted everywhere.
Creation reminds us of the promise of redemption.
:
After the fall, Adam and Eve were barred from the Garden of Eden by cherubim (angels). God then established a form of worship to teach the necessity of a Savior to regain access to His presence. Of the tabernacle and then the temple, God said, I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim, which were fashioned out of gold and stretched their wings over the mercy seat (Ex. 25:17-22). The reminder of Gods holiness and the need for sacrifice and mercy were central to Old Testament worship.

Thanks!
We did a lot of free stuff, like walking Squantum Point and looking at wildflowers, seeing Amelia Erhart’s old airfield, taking pictures of the skyline, and touring the Sam Adams Brewery!
