Weeds weeding.....

Weeds, weeding...

Now that the warmer weather is here, I think,....(supposed to be in the thirties again today)... The weeds are starting to grow and grow...it seems like they grow faster than the plants I want...I pull weeds daily, trying not to disturb the plants I want to grow...

In my garden boxes, there are no weeds so far, but the plants are too thick...so I have to thin them...trying not disturb too much the others in the box..leaving them to grow larger, stronger....so it is pick and choose , pick and choose...the good and the bad,....

Weeds, weeds,  part of the curse...what a picture again found in the Bible...those of who have put their faith in Christ live amongst those who have not...waiting for the harvest time....when the weeds shall be put into the furnace and the good crops, glorified...

Thank YOU, that You are the sower....You know who are the good and bad seeds, the weeds and the wheat..help the wheat to grow strong and healthy, ready for harvest...



Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43
 Parable of the Weeds

24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

The Parable of the Weeds Explained

36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
