Sharron's Blog: Worker Bees needed! Are you a pollenator?

 

April 7th, 2020
While talking to my niece Nanci yesterday (or was it today? I'm loosing track! ) we were discussing this sheltering in place, bible prophecies unfolding at jet speeds, and our parts in this, our calling, when I happened to look out my bedroom window to see my cherry tree in full bloom! We were discussing the harvest, people's hearts open spiritually as they watch full of fears, anxieties, hopelessness, despair, and looking for anything ... anyone offering them hope, something positive, a little joy and happiness, and not due to being present when store restocks toilet paper while you happen to be there!

I happened to look out my window to see these beautiful blossoms... and mentioned to Nanci, God is searching for honeybees, pollinators, his little worker bees that seem to be scarce during these times. He needs these pollinating worker bees, to spread the hope we have in Christ Jesus.  Without these little pollinators there will not be any fruit during harvest time!  People are ripe for just a little encouragement, hope, prayer and to see a way through these times of testing trials by fire. 

A side benefit of these happy little pollinators, is honey, as they gather that sweet nectar, flying from flower to flower, happy there are flowers for them to gather this food of life for their hives very survival... we get honey! Not only do we get fruits and vegetables at harvest but honey! The health benefits of honey are many!

So just know every time you run across one of these little jewels of God's creation in nature, that this is you during this time of pollination, flowers, sweet fragrances filling the air to the masses searching for the very thing you possess - the reason for your peace, joy, hope, and caring, understanding attitude... their searching, watching!

Here is our bible guidelines during this season: 

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

1¶Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4¶Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8¶Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11¶When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13¶And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
