Good afternoon, Connie, and thanks for the tributes to our troops. *HUGS*

Hope you’ve had a restful weekend. It has just stopped raining and I can see blue sky and sun shining through my skylight.

Guess what? After no ducks for months and months, a single green haired mallard came last night. He has to be an old-timer...the minute I opened the door he came closer and closer to the deck. He had a feast. This morning he brought 8 friends, and this afternoon 12 friends. As I walk to the edge of the deck with a bowl of corn, he comes closer. He knows. LOL!

Seeds & Soils
October 14, 2013

If you like growing pumpkins, you have probably heard of Dill’s Atlantic Giant variety of premium pumpkin seeds. Developed on a family farm in Atlantic Canada, the pumpkins grown from these seeds have set records around the world. In 2011, a pumpkin grown in Quebec set a new world record at 1,818.5 pounds (825 kg). That size of pumpkin could yield almost 1,000 pieces of pie!

When news reporters asked how this pumpkin could grow to such a size, the farmer replied that it had to do with the soil. The seeds were of a special large variety, but the soil still had to be right or the pumpkin wouldn’t grow properly.

The Lord Jesus used an illustration in which He compared different types of ground to a person’s response to God’s Word (Matt. 13). Some seeds were eaten by the birds, others started to grow but were choked by the weeds, and some grew up instantly but had no soil to further their growth. But the seeds that fell on the good soil “yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” (v.8).

Each of us needs to ask, “What kind of soil am I?” The Lord wants to plant His Word in our hearts so we can grow in our knowledge of Him.

More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me. —Hewitt

The fruit of the Spirit grows in the soil of obedience.

Read: Matthew 13:1-9

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. —2 Peter 3:18

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 43-44; 1 Thessalonians 2

Hi Kathy....not much rest although I did take a NAP yesterday for about 30 minutes...I never do that!

I have been spending my weekends on making cookies, candy & canning recipes for Christmas to try & be ahead of the game. Along with the usual chores.

I think I’ve finally got it all pinned down. My family & friends have enjoyed the “trial samples”. :)

Ducks are so much fun unless they are around the POOL! LOL

Watch out or you will have a whole flock at your door!
