First today is May Day do any of you know anything about May Day? If so please share!
My Mom have old pictures of my Aunts doing the Maypole dance at school but don't know anything more about it.
We have seen it in old movies,but not much was ever said about.It was just a Sean in a old movie.
May Day is on May 1 in medieval and modern Europe. A traditional springtime celebrations probably originating in pre-Christian agricultural rituals. Though local usage varied widely, these celebrations commonly included the carrying in procession of trees,green branches, or garlands; The appointment of a May king and May queen; and setting up a May tree or Maypole.This was done for ensure fertility to the crops.May Day celebration are lost today.
I told you that to tell you this:
Weeds or Blooms?
What are you a weed or a bloom________________?
I love corn and tomatoes but if you have a corn field and a tomato plant was there the tomato plant would be a weed! They are both plants but if your not were you suppose Tobe you become a weed.
In the Garden of Eden at first we were good fruit until we sin and became weeds.We no longer belong there because were not good fruit any longer. 3:17 And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life. 3:18 Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food; 3:19 With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back. 3:20 And the man gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life. 3:21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins for their clothing. 3:22 And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever. 3:23 So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken. 3:24 So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life. We are Children of The Most High but even if we are good fruit and going to the wrong Church or not doing what good fruit do we become weeds to that Church and that Church becomes a weed to us. 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.
In John 15:5 it tells of Jesus being The Vine and we are to bring forth much fruit.But there were people who were weeds and tried to cut down The Vine.There are people still today that are weeds.
There is an old saying that we should bloom were we are.But I believe we must make sure we are where we suppose to be and bloom so that we don't become a weed!
So what are you? From time to time I have been both! |

| If I were a weed, I'd want to be a dandelion........they are resilient, they can survive in a crack of cement, they spread easily..........think I'll be a "good" weed......be resilient, survive the roughest conditions with God's grace and spread His word like they spread their seeds :) |

| I'm more than a bloom--I'm a garden full of good stuff! Praise God! Right now, I'm just flowers, but God is helping fruit of the Spirit grow in and through me. Thanks, Doyle for a cool post. Keep on blooming and sharing the fragrance of Christ! |

I have been both a weed and a bloom.What struck me in this blog that a tomatoe in a corn patch would be a weed in a corn field.Been doing lots of thinking about busyness choking out our relationship with God.You can be so busy blooming for Jesus,serving in every way you can think of,and if you're doing stuff God hasn't asked you to do,all that serving can be like a weed(tomatoe)in teh corn field because you've replaced time spent with God with service in things He hasn't asked you to do.You're choking teh life out of your relationship with God(no time4 Him),and you're choking the person that God has intended for the job you've taken on w/out even consulting God.Great blog Doyle. |

Hey man, I'm lookin around and I see all these little flowers calling themselves weeds....what's up w/that? Ok, so we're taking a little longer to bloom than we'd like or expect....but I am confident it will come! Just need more water.... ("the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." -John 4:14)
Great blog, Doyle!! |

I have never seen a plant change into another different plant. Who told you that you are a weed? A good tree CAN NOT turn into a bad tree and bring forth bad fruit. A Bad Tree CAN NOT turn into a Good Tree and bring forth Good Fruit. This is what Jesus said. The Devil says it is possible. Jesus said it was not possible. Maybe we need to listen to Jesus before we accept the voice that says : a plant can change from good to bad, and from bad to good.
We are the offspring (sprout) of a good tree. Religion seems to say differently, based on day to day events and carnal facts.

I was a bloom in the beginning, then turned into a weed, and until I accepted the engraftment offered by Jesus, who Himself, was the great seed that fell into the earth (even within this earthen vessel) and died to bring forth many. I wouldn't know a weed from a bloom, without having been both. Now His seed within, is growing fed abundantly in the Living waters. The ground within the womb of my heart was overturned..and all of the creepy crawlies came runnin' out! lol :D
Bless you for sharing this message, LM |
