Spring Has arrived

Spring has arrived and of course the spring planting has begun. The robins are here to give us a new song to listen to. The temperatures are nice and cool here in the northeast. Great for the early planting for the spring. The new beginnings, what a great time to start new. Just as the rising of our Lord. Looking at spring and Easter as the beginning of something new.
I am doing things and completing tasks I thought could not be done before. That only shows you what you can do through Gods power. He is such an awesome God. Sometimes, we feel we can only ask God for big things. I threw that thought out of my mind and began praying for little things. My Lord can direct my day and the things that I need to get done. As long as I don't try to take control and go off on my own wants and desires. If you keep your selfish ways out of your mind and think how will this benefit the family. This is the same as trying to raise vegetables for the family table. Using my energy to create food for the family is one of those concerns . Now this will benefit the whole family along with teaching my young maiden a tool for life. My grandmother was taught to raise vegetables on the farm. She then taught my mother about gardening as a child. My mother then gave me crops to grow in her garden. Now, in my garden I am teaching my daughter the same tool of raising vegetables. God plants things in our hearts to carry them to the next generation of mothers.
    Raising young maidens to be ladies is another generational carrier that my grandmother wanted me to have. She taught my mother look at yourself before you leave the house. Don't leave the house if you don't feel put together. Are you dressing for your king, has he made you a woman. In the victorian days women never left thier homes unless they were fully dressed. Women of today can look as women and know the difference.
