“Be Mindful of What Is Poured Into You”

As born again believers, we have the Holy Spirit within us. The same Holy Spirit which raised Christ from the dead. We are a new creation, a new creature, created by God through the Lord Jesus Christ. An interesting analogy is we are like a diesel engine. A diesel engine cannot take standard gasoline. If gasoline is poured into a diesel, then the vehicle becomes powerless. Likewise, we must be mindful of what we pour into ourselves and allow others to pour into us. Let us focus on things above, building up our faith, and walking by the Spirit.

Not what I wanted to see

Got up at Dawn to pick beans and found the fish pond like this…..

The fountain had tipped over and drained out the water. Here’s praying the fish do not die.

On a happier note, a friend gave us some cucumbers and I was able to can 4 quarts of dill pickles.

There is now a shortage of canning supplies. I was thankful to find 24 jars with lids. I have jars already but no one has lids and Amazon is price gouging. Hopefully I will be able to locate some by the time we do a second picking of beans.
