Bloom Where You Are Planted

 

Bloom Where You Are Planted

When I drive through the main gate to our home place, I am reminded of how blessed we are to share this part of Texas with abundant wildlife, plant life, beautiful horses and cattle, a friendly dog (who owns the place and lets us live here) … all God’s creatures, great and small.

 

 

There is a glen which reminds me of the Northern part of the province in Ontario where our family spent summer vacations in the wilderness.  There are meadows which remind me of the rolling landscape of my Grandfather’s ranch in Oklahoma where I spent the precious days of my youth.  There are tall trees which protect us from the wind and summer sun.  There are tanks brimming with fish and a creek which flows merrily through the ranch.  There are blankets of wild flowers which portray God’s paint brush as he decorates the landscape.

 

 

The ranch is graced with God’s most beautiful creatures, Arabian horses, who gather eagerly to welcome us home and to their pastures for a visit.

 

 

Sometimes I pinch myself, because I wake up to each sunrise in a place of peace and blessings.  This is an easy place to bloom.  It is a good place for our grandchildren to run and play.  It is a healthy place for our garden to grow.

 

 

Treating Burns

This treatment of burns  is included in teaching beginner fireman this method. First aid consists to spraying cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced and stops burning the layers of skin. Then, spread egg whites on the affected area.

One woman burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. In spite of the pain, she ran cold faucet water on her hand, separated 2 egg white from the yolks, beat them slightly and dipped her hand in the solution. The whites then dried and formed a protective layer.

 

She later learned that the egg white is a natural collagen and continued during at least one hour to apply layer upon layer of beaten egg white. By afternoon she no longer felt any pain and the next day there was hardly a trace of the burn. 10 days later, no trace was left at all and her skin had regained its normal color. The burned area was totally regenerated thanks to the collagen in the egg whites, a placenta full of vitamins.

 

Cooler Corn

Use one cooler, wiped clean, then filled with shucked ears of corn. 

Next, pour two kettles-full of boiling water over the corn and close the top of the cooler.

30 minutes later, open the cooler and the corn will be perfectly cooked. The corn will remain at the perfect level of doneness for a couple of hours.

Cooler Corn is perfect for large barbecues and is way less of mess than grilling.

 

The Kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed. ... for behold, the Kingdom of God is in the midst of you.  Luke 17:20-21

 

From our ranch to yours, we wish you many

 

 

Happy Trails,
