It's obvious by their name that the purpose of a Scarecrow was to keep birds away from farmer's crops. I always used to think that Scarecrows originated in North America but in my research I found out that they date back a couple thousand years. Japan, Egypt and Europe had their own versions of the modern day "Scarecrow." </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these."

That got me thinking - what would a worrying lily look like? It's quite comical really - I imagine a worry lily would pop in and out of the ground and then before opening it's flower I imagine that it would have to first look at the plants beside itself. The worry lily might open it's flower but then close it again feeling inadequate. Yes - this is all very silly but isn't that what we must look like from the heavens when we worry? Worry makes us do ridiculous things.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";">Jesus compares the appearance of King Solomon and a Lily of the field - even going as far as to say that a Lily is dressed more spectacularly than a king. God provides clothing for the lesser creation, and He provides all the more for us.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><strong>When you find yourself worrying this week - pay attention to what strange actions worry makes you do.....and then try to correct and trust in God the next time you are about to worry.</strong></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Part 1: </span><a href="http://godsgrowinggarden.blogspot.com/2011/10/garden-preserved-chili.html"><span style="font-size: large;">Stored Away In Barns</span></a></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";

Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Matthew 6: 25 & 26</strong></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";">This is the first of a 4 part "Worry Wart" series.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";">Sowing, reaping and storing away - we all do this in some way or another - maybe with money, with food or even with friends. In these verses Jesus is showing us that our life and our body is more important than food and clothing. I think we can even go as far as to say that men and women are more important than their jobs/their occupation. Jesus refers to us as "valuable" - we are much more valuable than the birds of the air. God will provide and does provide.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";">Worry is a trust issue (a lack of trust). Worry is definitely one of my weaknesses and I always feel ashamed after continuously worrying about something. God is in control - not me - everything happens for a reason and He knows what that reason is. In the long run, whatever happened or didn't happen is for our own good, whether we realize it at the time or not. We can peacefully live knowing that God has it figured out.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";">Lord please help us this week as we try to <strong>trust</strong> instead of <strong>worry.</strong></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";

I had just finished assembling our dream greenhouse from "Harbor Freight" - it had only been standing for 4 days. My husband was in the greenhouse excitedly planning and planting for our winter greenhouse crop (Kale, winter lettuce). I was inside in the kitchen preparing our lunch and I just couldn't shake an ominous feeling in the pit of my stomach. I looked outside from my lunch preparations only to see the greenhouse flip over taking my husband with it! I sprinted outside and found my husband unconscience and pinned down by the greenhouse. (see pictures below).</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPia4cx6Q7XXmqk9N0HwT972Fw9SRGOcPHClo7KvN32b0ConU2dM2sb5Lxod4Aa9fWUlKwN0YlOTWJXUtKU1piANH2H8rbxBUM-xBQ-FMEeRMPBmg-hIykvTqUVNt4mu5b6qR7mwThZQbl/s1600/DSCF1996.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPia4cx6Q7XXmqk9N0HwT972Fw9SRGOcPHClo7KvN32b0ConU2dM2sb5Lxod4Aa9fWUlKwN0YlOTWJXUtKU1piANH2H8rbxBUM-xBQ-FMEeRMPBmg-hIykvTqUVNt4mu5b6qR7mwThZQbl/s400/DSCF1996.JPG" width="300" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Honestly though</strong> - my husband was <strong>NOT</strong> injured.

The metal is so cheap - this greenhouse should have at least been able to withstand a gust of wind. Also, the design is not the greatest - there were 4 windows/vents on the roof and I think the wind caught the window and opened it making an air tunnel inside. I can't imagine what a Michigan winter would have done to this greenhouse (if it had lasted that long).</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB_9V39tdpxcITHRL3zHw4H_rJl15-0T7WZ85xlXOddsKqGvCtQi62NOrz9dAGxAgFn-J9T8qt0ARgpRp4qO9UXZXVmI-E2p93tD7fH18U0e95IVvVOsxFr4dQWMq5A_5ErB2A58OtRFdT/s1600/DSCF1974.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB_9V39tdpxcITHRL3zHw4H_rJl15-0T7WZ85xlXOddsKqGvCtQi62NOrz9dAGxAgFn-J9T8qt0ARgpRp4qO9UXZXVmI-E2p93tD7fH18U0e95IVvVOsxFr4dQWMq5A_5ErB2A58OtRFdT/s320/DSCF1974.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This (the picture above) is what the frame of the greenhouse looked like before the wind - I had not had time to take a picture of the greenhouse totally finished with the panels installed</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1IZ_5mBOTh2CFFVosfPwwYGMNrU-WkmikntOL-Zdg_Ep7PlMO7JD3zSnmt45k0sCZ3ThwYaLFl3D1T0vtW0go1AYD8l1PthPOq5PoaKFLrrkFpPhZBlNnBHronjBb6GAnbjNM-phpZs4b/s1600/DSCF2002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1IZ_5mBOTh2CFFVosfPwwYGMNrU-WkmikntOL-Zdg_Ep7PlMO7JD3zSnmt45k0sCZ3ThwYaLFl3D1T0vtW0go1AYD8l1PthPOq5PoaKFLrrkFpPhZBlNnBHronjBb6GAnbjNM-phpZs4b/s640/DSCF2002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The metal base frame in the picture above was a 90 degree angle prior to the wind - now it is flat.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9INzv7Ej6dBSlvpjbR-Lk2Q6TPNxhiddcNJg-T5ymtsaWpmg96QQ9o2ZrvqxpEuk9phwJHJlZs01Nf8Z1vN_OJxJtOqUWTSc8vmBNmnjtzU7pDZiAjqfc61QUNDzgCz0RRj6irRz_Bjbs/s1600/DSCF2003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9INzv7Ej6dBSlvpjbR-Lk2Q6TPNxhiddcNJg-T5ymtsaWpmg96QQ9o2ZrvqxpEuk9phwJHJlZs01Nf8Z1vN_OJxJtOqUWTSc8vmBNmnjtzU7pDZiAjqfc61QUNDzgCz0RRj6irRz_Bjbs/s640/DSCF2003.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This support beam in the picture above is NOT supposed to be a 90 degree angle</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy23l9ADvaEvcTcYBFF6rOib6IcI5e0HdSkvjioN0a0SuiWWWL6NfciK41fIXSP2BEFE9jkKAXsZ-WvEWnVce9LUlbKzXmO7MW0GXMSAlRri7-hCuKNaJAsWxEo730wXKpXhGyDgjfRet-/s1600/DSCF2004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy23l9ADvaEvcTcYBFF6rOib6IcI5e0HdSkvjioN0a0SuiWWWL6NfciK41fIXSP2BEFE9jkKAXsZ-WvEWnVce9LUlbKzXmO7MW0GXMSAlRri7-hCuKNaJAsWxEo730wXKpXhGyDgjfRet-/s400/DSCF2004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Metal holes that were factory drilled just ripped like paper</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial;">It was NOT a tornado - only a gust of wind.

text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This basic step is vital to successfully baking bread. The first step in any bread recipe (or some other yeast dough recipe) calls for proofing or activating the yeast. This is the step where you mix sugar, dry yeast and either hot water or hot milk (about 110 degrees). The reason for this step is not only to activate the yeast but also, (if it is old yeast) this step will save you from possibly wasting your time and ingredients. Old yeast will not activate, therefore your bread will not rise. </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Allow the yeast mixture (sugar, yeast & water/milk) to "proof" for 5 to 10 minutes. You will notice that the yeast granules disappear and the mixture will become frothy, bubbly and foamy (see pictures). If this foamy/frothiness does not happen then your yeast is old and you must throw the yeast mixture away and start the "proofing" process over with new yeast.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> I have a candy thermometer that I use and I tested my hot tap water - it is exactly 110 degrees at it's warmest temperature. So, if you do not have a thermometer, then most likely your hot tap water will be warm enough to "proof" the yeast. <strong> (Careful - if the liquid is too warm then that will also stop the yeast from activating)</strong></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Simply wait until the stem and vine are dried up and are light brown or smoky in color.

Matthew 9: 37 & 38</strong></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";">We are in the thick of harvest right now and it is so true about the "workers being few." I am so thankful for the bountiful harvest but there just isn't enough time in each day to finish all of the work that needs to be done.

It is interesting in these verses that we are to "ask the Lord of the harvest" - this is something that we should be praying about. We should not just be praying about what our job should be in this heavenly harvest but also we should be praying and asking God to send out more workers.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong>Lord please show us what you want our harvest job to be and please send out new workers to the harvest field.</strong></span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/03912106023113749359' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/03912106023113749359' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>AngieOuellette-Tower</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://www.godsgrowinggarden.com/2011/10/harvest-field.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://www.godsgrowinggarden.com/2011/10/harvest-field.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2011-10-09T00:01:00-04:00'>12:01 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://www.godsgrowinggarden.com/2011/10/harvest-field.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/3888638695975944987/430167541717660882' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-488856985'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3888638695975944987&postID=430167541717660882&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3888638695975944987&postID=430167541717660882&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3888638695975944987&postID=430167541717660882&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
