Plants waiting shipping or repotting

some of the beautiful color in the greenhouse



Well I have planting fever and all I want to do is be outside. It IS spring time in alaska and its the start of our summer. I have bought some plants ones I actually helped get started while working at the green house. and I cant wait to get them put into the ground and see what they do. I LOVE the growing and seeing what I reap stuff. I wonder though if we were to stop and think about this sowing and reaping in what we say and do if we would try to be more kind, more giving, more charitable . Sowing and reaping is a promise. It is binding. It is a law if you will. It's just one of those unbreakable things GOD has established and it affects all areas of our lives Most importantly our childrens and grandchilderns lives. If you ever stop to look at people and see a mom and daughter or dad and son.....if you watch and know their lifes story one can see patterns repeated. Sometimes to be repeated and repeated. Sowing and reaping. How do you break this cycle. Acknowledgement and Grace . Knowing it's there , repenting of it and asking for GODs saving grace to lead you on the right path and steer you clear of the viscioius cycle of distruction and pain. Wow how did I get on this subject! oh yeah, sowing and reaping. Seeds bring forth flowers and plants and food and gooie batter makes an awesome cake and cookies.

It is just undeniable that we reap what we sow. If we give it comes back to us one way or another. Good or bad we ultimatly reap what we sow.

So go sow some goodness, some kindness, some fun, and look for the blessed reaping that returns to you when you water with LOVE.
ICorinthians 13:

⁴Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

⁵does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,

⁶does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

⁷bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

¹⁰but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

¹¹When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

¹²For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

¹³But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

We sow , we water with love, we reap. We choose.
Love Rhonda

Spring is here!!

Today I defiantly have spring fever!!! the sky is clear blue as only Alaska skies can be and the air smells so fresh. deep breath...........ahhhhhhhhhh lovely!!!

Sorry I havent posted in a while I got a temporary job at a green house and it was so much fun but I was so sore and tired at night all I did was eat and sleep once I got home. My poor muscles. But now they are stronger and ready for me to move and keep moving. YAY!
The green house was fun I got to plant the baby plants when they arrived and get them ready for the stores. The plants were really starting to bloom when i finished on friday and they smelled soooo good......so good.......I will miss working there but thats ok I can go visit when I want.

The volcano is still erruping... at least there is still a steam plume ........it errupted 19 times with ash and they expect it to again......the last time it errupted it did it for months also. so we just watch and are on alert .

My wonderful hubby and I celebrated our 30th anniversary on the 14th of april with our children and grand babies and our friends . We had a prime rib dinner and it was most yummy.
we had a wonderful night. I actually came home early from work to spend the afternoon with my hubby and he suprised me with a dozen long stem roses and a new sparkly ring.....sighs I am soooooooooooooooooooooo blessed. thank you abba!!!

so I am off to finish spring cleaning for today and get ready for more cleaning tomorrow. YAY!!!

Rhonda

well I did it......I got a JOB............oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh yes yes it is something that I sorta fell into and I am loving it. This new job is just temporary , as in seasonal so I will only work till the middle of April or so. WOW I I well the big ole world just has changed so much. I am finding the people interesting yet mostly i am finding out how much they need our loving Yeshua. Those who are just searching from thing to thing to person to person song to song and wow they have no peace or joy or ..........well they are lost sheep's.....GOD gave me the verse 2 Corinthians 2: 14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. 15 For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; 16 to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? 17 For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God 2 corinthians .3:1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? 2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, 6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
So GOD has put me as well as every one in place to be HIS fragerance..... HIS aroma i find this so interesting and exciting and good. Resting in HIS aroma and spreading it around. YES
I am soooooooo excited to be working in the green house. We are getting all the plants ready for spring time planting and I have to tell you the smell of the earth and moving it and planting all the little plants that will get BIGGER and bloom. So amazing how my GOD made this world. I am sore....so sore the muscles I have refound or didn't know I had oh man! But to work in the sunshine ( when its out) and smell the earth its invigorating!!! Especially since my world around me is still frozen and white. Love Rhonda

Laughter

Well I have spent the last hour or so watching and remembering the Carol Burnett show. My tummy hurts goodness sakes . I have laughed and laughed. This was a time of innocence and fun and yet discovery and I grew up with this show. So this is one of my favorite outtakes and I LOVE this show it was sooooo funny . Every week was a new adventure in laughter. Thank YOU Carol Burnett and company!!!









No new news on the volcano . This was the latest posted about it at 4 this afternoon.

2009-02-01 16:00:05

Seismic unrest continues at Redoubt. Seismic activity is still well above normal background levels and is holding steady. The volcano has not erupted.

Weather conditions are clear at the volcano and a vapor plume is visible rising above the summit crater. Please see photographs from yesterday's overflight for views of the source of this plume.

The Aviation Color Code remains at ORANGE and the Volcano Alert Level remains at WATCH.

So we are still in watch and wait mode. Enjoy the laugh!! Love Rhonda
