Hiya,

We've been out in the garden, doing gardening. I've been using the strimmer.

If you have a wild garden, be careful of "Hogweed".

https://www.healthline.com/health/hogweed-burns#how-it-causes-burns

When you cut it down, or strim it, green liquid flies out, and if it hits your skin, wash it off straight away. Or better than that, be more sensible than me, and use a long sleeve shirt. Because it causes burns.

I have blisters and bubbles on my arms today. To be fair, I didn't think any had landed on me, but obviously it did.

Fortunately I have some steroid cream, and that's the best thing to use for it, according to my Doctor.

Just thought I'd post this on here in case anyone has these things in their garden. I've heard of some people who have ended up in hospital with these burns, so do be careful if you're gardening.

Hope you are all having a lovely day.

Chat later all.

Becky.

@Rebecca Pickles Thank you for your warning. It is thoughtful of you to try to prevent others from incurring these burns.

From the photo you'd never know how nasty hogweed could actually be. The only thing that causes welts here in California are nettles. You have to make direct close contact with them though. I fell in a patch of them once as a young boy. Not pleasant. Hope you get to feeling better soon, Becky. God bless.

P.S. We also have poison oak, which can be pretty severe if one has an allergy to them.

Shalom,

Hi David,

Yes, nettles are nasty as well. I bet that was dreadful when you fell into a patch of them. I've never done that, and hope I don't ever do. I'm really careful that I don't lose my balance when I'm strimming, as that wouldn't be fun.

Poison oak very nasty too.

Thanks for the well wishes and God bless you too.

Becky.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
