Lunch time appetiser:
Ever wonder why there are so many Mary's in scripture?
I am, the mother of a Mary Elizabeth who came into the world in a breach birth position. She is the grand daughter of another Mary Elizabeth, who was my own birth mother. I came in between the two.

Pre-Dinner Chores in the Garden:
Now after I got done cleaning the house, making and eating lunch for my husband and me, taking a power nap, having 2 portions of fresh strawberries stored up from and preserved from, before I went away and came back...I took a walk in the little slice of heaven on Earth garden of God, where I reside...I found what looked like two transplanted citrus trees we planted from the seed of our one and only faithful and sweet orange tree that bears it fruit in the late fall harvest...We had originally planted many, given some away and had a remnant remaining that looked like two but was really three with two comingled, conjoined and growing up from the root together, and only when I transplanted them did I see that they were really three... and I planted them to either side of the one I had forgotten about that my husband had cut down one day last year while I was distracted and didn't even know right away...It was a wild orange tree that I discovered hidden just at the edge of the manicured lawn growing wild and tall and bearing sour fruit but pretty to the eye...My husband agreed to dig it up and transplant it to please me but he never did like that tree...So you see my husband is the gardener and I am his helper and today after consulting with him first about planting the last of the citrus seed trees and where we might want to put them, with his help and his leading and his direction, the second tree that is conjoined with another was planted exactly where he pointed to in the Earth, in the little slice of heaven, I call home...I know it will now grow very quickly for it has been commanded to do so. And that brings us all to supper time again and he wants to know what we are having for supper next...I could not possibly make all this up on my own, so take it and know that today I am seeing what is in the garden, in a whole new light...for all creation declares the glory of Father and it is increasing no matter what it may seem and the sons of God soon will be revealed and all creation waits in earnest expectation...All the plants or trees that can be transplanted, have been moved and put in their places. ...
Dinner appetizer: While deciding together what to have I mentioned I was sure I was done moving all the plants around...But, then,..my husband said, "don't be in such a hurry to close the door...there just might be more to dig up...!He is quite prophetic this week...if only he only knew...and when I mentioned that in days of old they stoned and killed the prophets he only said, "We are ready no matter what comes..."
