We engaged in some yard work extra ordinare (or however you spell it) yesterday. The yard needed to be mowed and edged. And it was thick. Almost had to go over the whole thing twice. Chris worked at cleaning out flower beds, then suddenly appeared just as I turned on the leaf blower. She greatly prefers the old school approach - sweeping. With a broom and everything. Why, when there is a perfectly good power tool available?
I did get some backing for my side. Jonathan, one of the firefighters and also a neighbor, and his wife were on a walk. Brandy sided with Chris. Jonathan was Power Tool Guy all the way. Sadly, the tiebreaker was their young son. He was definitely in Mom’s court. Come on, Little Man. Power tools!
We didn’t stop with just mowing and edging. We also trimmed way back that evil demon bugger villa bush. Always a pleasure, to be sure. We then moved some pot plants to their Spring spots in the yard. Oh! And I started tearing out the rotting root ball of the old palm tree that used to be in our back yard. That was actually kind of fun. We ended up not anywhere close to finishing, but we dumped our last bag of dirt in the big hole. Now we need a Home Depot run again.
Matthew 7:13-14 says, Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
Father, thanks for helping us out in the “heat” today. Amen.
