GROWING DEEP AND STRONG

One day my mother and I were working together in the garden where we were transplanting plants for the third time. Grown from seed in a small container, the plants had been transferred to a larger container; then transplanted into the garden. Now, because I was moving, we were transplanting them once again.

Inexperienced as a gardener, I turned to my green-thumbed mother. "Isn’t this bad for them?" I asked, as we dug them up and shook the dirt from the roots. "Won’t it hurt these plants, being uprooted and transplanted so many times?" "Oh" my mother replied, "Transplanting doesn’t hurt them. In fact, it’s good for the ones that survive. That’s how their roots grow strong. Their roots will grow deep, and they will make strong plants".

Often, I’ve felt like those small plants – uprooted and turned upside down. Sometimes I’ve endured the change willingly, sometimes reluctantly, but usually my reaction has been a combination. Won’t this be hard on me? I ask. Wouldn’t things be better if things remained the same? That’s when I remember my mother’s words: That’s how the roots grow deep and strong.

I just happened to be here at the right time, so Hi.

Only comment for the day were all the idiots lined up at Game Stop, and all the other idiots buying Pokemon and Taylor Swift at my store.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Hope you and Blue are enjoying nice fall weather.

My yard is completely covered in fallen gold leaves, and termination dust is on the mountains.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

The leaves are only starting to change here, and I’ve had some beautiful rides.

I hope to have another tomorrow!

Hi, Kathy! You’re very welcome.

Sooo good to see you tonight. Hope you’re rested and that you have a blessed Sunday, too!...and more rest!

I was checking the Lake Hood cam the other day, and the fall foliage was simply beautiful with the mountains behind it.
