The Strawberry Chapter 16

Seeds in trinket box

By Katherine AguilarPublished about 6 hours ago Updated about 6 hours ago 3 min read

The chapters I write at times will bring faith into the mix. Because at times things happen. I have to go into my trinket box and pull out items for me to use to get me through things when at times. I know there is absolutely no way I could stand on my own to do it or go through it.

I am not the only one in this world with seeds. I sure put a lot of Seeds in my box from others. Good people were placed in my life to get through things.

The scripture that says

You reap what you sow true.

Don't expect a harvest of strong trees when you only threw seeds and didn't throw any near good soil.

Or you had good seeds and never put good soil on them.

Schools are filled with students who have absolutely no clue what life is about.

For example, the child is the seed.

The teacher could be some good soil.

But the parent doesn't water it.

What do you think is going to happen nothing.

Unless another person in that person's life sees that child as having so much potential. That they water it. It wasn't the parent. It was a stranger who started watering the plant and adding more soil. While the parent soon starts to see. We got something here. I'd better get watering too.

That is when they really start taking off.

What is a bad/good seed? That something happened. Just gets a sprinkle if it's good soil which was not even meant for them. They realize I like this. They go looking for more soil.

That bad seed is good after all with God's help. They were able to prevail and make a lasting impact on others.

The weakest is being considered the strongest of all seeds.

When odds are set against you. You become your strongest.

At least that is how my reaction was.

I was set to fail by others and with God's help, I prevailed.

The scripture of

You can do all things through God who strengthens me.

I was working a job. When this man thought I was extremely nuts. He was beating his wife. I heard her screaming. I knocked on the door.

He opened the door. I told him to stop beating her.

This man thought he was going to scare me. He told me " I am going to beat you up!! He lifted his fist to hit me. I told him " it told him Go ahead!

I am blessed by the blood of Jesus! You think that hitting me will hurt me!"

You are really going to get it! God is my Justice!" He will take care of it for me.

The man stopped.

He goes " You are crazy!" And walked off and left.

I have learned over the years. I do not have to take revenge or seek justice.

God will take care of it. He always has. He is better at it than I will ever be.

Monitoring

A while ago. After watching the news.

I've reached the point where I no longer watch the news. It turns into something so depressing or repeating the same thing.

Are we being fed what society wants us to see, or are we actually researching to determine if the news is even true?

People only like to post stuff that is negative.

People have been self policing themselves for years.

The only difference between prisoners and ourselves is that we are paying for our houses, apartments etc..

There are cameras, on phones, streetlights, cars, buildings, doorbells, in stores, there are cameras all over the place. There is a GPS in almost every car. You buy a car.

How do you think they find it?

There is a GPS on your phone. You are tracked everywhere you go.

Basically, society has imprisoned itself.

Everything sold to society is convenient and safe.

I saw a commercial. I thought it was so ridiculous and made us pretend to do exercise. I am not even sure what service he was selling.

He has a plant leaning towards the window. To get light.

Can you believe the man asks "the service. "My plant is leaning towards the window. What is wrong with the plant?"

The service answers. " The plant needs sunlight."

Common Sense should tell a person. The plant needs sunlight. I should move the plant closer to the window.

Should thoughts, ideas, or thinking taken from a person's life with the person being told it is more convenient?
