Tackle it Tuesday


Good Morning!

We tackled one of the garden grown watermelons...
I have kept them refrigerated in the garage refer

Dove grabbed the camera


The seeds of the Moon and Star melons are very large and full bodied.
The children were asking Why in our home grown melons are there seeds.

My Tackle is to continue to teach the way of life
This time in regards to the foods eaten.

In responce to Dash I spoke of how the SEEDLESS melons are of little life use after eaten once.
We however will have been able to have eaten many times off of one melon by harvesting the seeds and saving them.



Daddy Man came in after supper and after the desert to ask of the melon on the counter.
They were all looking forward to enjoying it.
He spoke so kindly to the children of the efforts I had made to fix the supper.
He praised my efforts to grow our melon.

It was Dove who then took camera to hand to document these things.
She told us mainly her father...to smile wide this is going on moms blog she anounced.
She was proud of me.
She was impressed and full of gratitude over the melon.
She was so loving to me and so impressed by the live given in the melon and the seed that will live on.
Although I have saved well over 100 seeds from the other melon.
We set up another paper towel lined plate and saved the seeds from this one.

Next year with further education on care of the crop our melons will be even better.

Teach your children well that they may live long.
It may not be easy but see the rewards weeks later.
She was proud of the food that was home grown.
She gained her lesson.
I am pleased.

p.s.Dove asked if I were going to give the seeds to others so they could grow them also and save the seeds as well.
Wise kid!
Let me know if you would like to plant some and I will mail you a few seeds.
We can exchange address over emails

Hi Donetta,
I'm impressed you grow your own watermelons. The seeds are a great way of teaching about life. The seedless watermelons taste good, but there's a reason God put seeds in watermelons.
It's nice to hear from you today. Here's the url for my husband's blog.

I love watermelon, yummy.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
