Crabgrass

Tonight I finally decided to check my email after not doing so for almost 3 weeks.  I noticed that I got an email from my Mame (grandma)  and I just felt like I should share some of it with ya'll: 

"It was 100 degree yesterday.  I've been getting up early 6:30 A. M. and going out to try to pull crab grass out of our 13 blueberry bushes.  While on my knees, some thoughts came to me such as:

Crabgrass reminds me of Satan.  It takes hold of the roots of plants and draws all their moisture & nutrients.  It grows deep in the soil & tries to hide under the mulch, but soon sprouts reveal its location.  After gathering it, Granddaddy puts it in the burn pile.  (where Satan belongs). It is very persistent and though the plants are free of their enemy for a while, it comes back even without being given any water or invitation.  I dug trenches around the plants, to let the crabgrass know that it is not to go beyond the boundaries.  It paid NO attention to me.  I'm glad that God sets boundaries for us to protect us and enable us to be blessed and to bless others. When we obey his Word, (boundaries) we fulfill the plan He has for us."

This email was something that I needed to hear and my Mame had no idea how much I needed to hear it.  It is funny how God works and put these little reminder's in our lives.  I am so thankful for my Mame.  :)
