My back yard trees, one naked, other fully clothed.
My front yard trees, one half naked, other one fully shameless.
I mentioned my trees the other day. How my neighbors trees had all shed their leaves but my trees are independent.
My yards, front and back have looked like this:
Lots of leaves under one tree, none under the other.
Now, I am perfectly content to wait for my slower to shed trees to finish there work and then to mulch all the leaves in one fell mow.
I believe that is Gods way, in Matthew 13, Jesus explains the Parable of the Tares. Here are the verses. Pray about the revelation yourselves.
“He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
To me it is obvious, we should leave the leaves until all have fallen, then when we mulch them, our yards will shine forth.
The Lord doesn’t clean up piece meal.
My neighbor isn’t a believer, I came home to find my front yard has been shorn, attacked by a bladed instrument. ..BEFORE ITS TIME.
Thank you neighbour, I didn’t realize how much my leaves offended you.
I started this as a joke.
I end it covicted of my sin. Not the yard, that is silly, no, convicted because of my walk.
The Lord sorts it out at the end but my job is to become Holy, by the renewing of my mind.
To walk worthy of my Lord, to be a faithful witness to the world. To encourage others to come to the Lord, by the light of my life,
How many have turned from God because of something I may have said or done.
Father, forgive me, change me, open my eyes to understand the end of my actions and additude.
Thanks for visiting, come back soon.
