“Continue to follow in the straight and narrow;

there’ll always be thistles”

Good morning. Indeed spring has sprung with open doors and windows let the winter moths fly out plus the glow of things shining bright. As far as the outdoors sports you can really tell it. Yes the pickups are pulling the boats and turkey hunters. Well Tri Bee it seems as if you’re sitting on cloud nine. Indeed I’ve always been an outdoor person and now when someone comes around, speaking of gardening, well I don’t know fertilizer is sky high, plants! I have neighbors who have organic gardens then over across the road and up the hill horse manure. Anyway just like a billion other ideas where there’s a will there’s a way.  I’ll make it by the sweat of my brow. So lets open up our hearts and pour out the blessings, which so many we’re not aware of. Fill up with the heavenly sunshine. Indeed we’ll not go lacking He’ll fulfil our needs according to His riches in glory.
