JC, I have planted them many times - and the petals are so soft and fragile and always produce a beautiful full bloom!

Check this out - I think you can grow them there in TN:

There's a Place that Sells Flowers not too Far from where I Live;
I Think I'll Check there Soon and See if they have Any.
It would be Awesome to Grow them Again!

Are we an hour’s difference between Tennessee and Texas?

I'm not Sure, my Sweet FRiend; it's about 11:15 here now.

Cutting A Trail

April 24, 2012

The Native Americans of Michigan were the state’s first highway route engineers. With few exceptions, Michigan’s major highways follow the trails they cut through the wilderness hundreds of years before the white man came. A trail was 12-18 inches wide, and for safety the people followed single file. Then pack horses followed these trails, widening them. Later came wagons, and the trails became dirt roads and then highways.

In a similar way, Solomon followed the trail of his father and in turn paved the way for his sons and grandsons. He did this by encouraging his sons to heed his instructions just as he had followed the sound teaching of his father (Prov. 4:4-5). So this father, giving his sons good practical and spiritual counsel, was passing on what he had learned from the boys’ grandfather, David, who was called a “man after [God’s] own heart” (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22). The younger generation of believers often learns best about God from the family.

Our physical and spiritual children watch the path we’re taking. As God’s men and women, let’s make certain we cut a righteous, wise, and clear trail. Then if ongoing generations choose to follow, the trail can become a highway—an ongoing legacy to God’s glory.

Lord, as I walk my path of life,
Help my feet step straight and true;
That those who follow after me,
Will be tracking straight with You. —Egner
When we follow God, we blaze a trail
for those who would follow.

Read: Proverbs 4:1-7

Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding. —Proverbs 4:1
Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 4-6

Thank you for this great site! I bookmarked quickly and am going to try to find some of those. I did read if you planted them in the spring, they would bloom late summer. Guess its better to put the bulbs in the pots or wherever in the fall as I was reading so they’ll be ready to bloom in the spring!

Thanks much!!

I think we are an hour apart.

I had gone to bed when you wrote last night but I caught
it this morning! Thanks so much.

I haven’t had breakfast yet so I’m getting ready to do that
now! Don’t know what yet but something EASY!

((((HUGS))))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How do the children learn of whom they are?
what is their history?
What struggles have their ancestors experienced?
What worked and was a benefit to people?
What caused pain, problems, pathetic circumstances?

Before we are able to discern for our self the foundation of how and what we believe, think, and use to guide our life by ... ongoing ... is already laid.

We do know traumatic experience can haunt us with anxiety, fear, worry, and angst, hampering our lives.

How do we know about God? Whom was it teaching us? The Government? Our parents, the schools?

The greatest story ever told, changes hearts, minds and the future of believers in Jesus Christ our redeemer, our savior, our deliverer,

Glory be to God!!!

Thank you, Teenie.

I found today’s opening graphic very relaxing and I loved the poem that Billie found .... makes me want to take a weekend jaunt to Lake Tahoe. Finding a cabin on the North Shore sounds like Heaven to me.

Have a Terrific GratiTuesday.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

I wish you a very good day.
