Bounty...

Welcome back to pilgrim's cottage and farm!
Please do enter and visit a bit...
see what we are doing today.
This morning, we harvested sweet potatoes, cassava, bananas...
cauliflower, broccoli
papayas...
lettuce and cabbage...
and a soursop aka guanabana...
which we opened up...
a sweet fruit that makes a great smoothie
We also harvested a few cacao pods...
cracked them open and set them to "sweat"...
after which, they will be laid out in the sun to dry.
Did you know the white pulp covering the cacao is edible?
It is very sweet and juicy.
We are also preparing more wax cones for our bees...
they are making honey very fast and will need more cones today.
In the bottom left of the cone photo, you can see that the tiny maribone wasp is looking over the wax cone.
This morning, I also picked basil and lemongrass for making ice tea
I simply rinse them well, wring them to get the juices started...
put them in with organic tea leaves in a heat-proof pitcher...
pour hot (not boiling) water over them...
and let them steep for a few hours to bring out the flavors and medicinal properties from the herbs.
I strain the tea and put in honey to taste.

Proverbs 12:11 says:
"He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread..."

This is actually speaking on spiritual things, but often the Lord uses earthly pictures to give us information on His salvation. We can know that by what it says in the next sentence of that verse...

"...but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding."

In the last verse of chapter 12, we read:

"In the way of righteousness is life;
and in the pathway thereof there is no death."

It is in the righteousness of Lord Jesus Christ that we put our till in for salvation. 
There we will have bread of life eternal and can avoid the pitfalls 
of the wicked who know not God and die in their sins.

May it be the Lord guides you today in His truth.
