Terumah commentaries from Ardelle

Can we do תפילות prayers for:

Ardelle and Cal?

So that through them The האור Light, רפואה The Healing and The ואהבה Love of ישועת יהוה Yeshuath YHWH may come back to הארץ The Land of Israel?

Shalom!

Did you ever work at a tedious job and wonder if the Father was trying to teach you something? I know that the Father has chosen the concepts of agriculture as a way to teach us Kingdom principles. So, when I found myself alone for hours on my hands and knees in the dirt, on a cold morning with the ruach (wind) blowing briskly, I looked for the lesson.

I was picking weeds among tender plants of the Land, pondering. Originally, I was given a hoe to go after the ubiquitous weeds. But I couldn’t get near enough to the roots of the plants to get every weed. I found that it was absolutely necessary to get on my knees to carefully separate the weeds from the tiny plant stems. Yes, you already understand, don’t you? Some things are only accomplished on our knees. Weeds are like sins or maybe distractions in our lives. We can chop out many of them with hardly any work at all. But those that cling to our roots…well they will only come out when we are on our knees…alone and with much work. It was a good day. I can’t say I enjoyed it all that much, but I’m thankful for the lessons learned. And I am excited that in a few weeks, there will be a nice harvest!

Shabbat Shalom!
