"Partnership"


In my last post, I wrote about God (Father, Son and Spirit) creating everything in Genesis Chapter One. He created everything and declared it to be good, including mankind. Then mankind sinned and messed up God's perfect plan. 
Cone flower and Milkweed feed the butterflies who need it to survive, especially the Monarchs, who undertake a migration route from Canada to Mexico, the original generation setting out never to see their destination.
We admire the Cone flower and butterflies for their aesthetic beauty. God also had that in mind. I have been asked pointedly, in ALL CAPS, why God allows bad things like poisonous plants to kill innocent children who stray from their parents and eat them.
The reality, which is very unpopular (just about anything having to do with God and His truths are in America today), is that nobody is good without Jesus. Adam and Eve brought sin into the world via their free will. That included, among other things, poison, greed, lust and death.
They had to leave their lovely garden in Eden where God supplied their every need.
Mankind causes pollution and over industrialization. We kill. We steal and we reject God.
God, Who is Omnipotent, foreknew our propensity to sin, so He sent His Son, Jesus, to die a painful and humiliating death in our place-and rise again.
Revelation tells us that a new time will come. God will gut this earth and do a major renovation that will rival anything on HGTV. 

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." Revelation 21:1-2 KJV

His saints (all those who believe in Jesus) will be permanent citizens of this new and wonderful place called "The New Jerusalem". Sin won't exist anymore.
I am sure there will be a garden even more lovely than the first one, before mankind ruined it.
Let us praise God for His Son, Jesus, and all the good He has created and is creating. Let us praise God for making us acceptable by Jesus' sacrifice at Cavalry.
Amen.

My autistic brain

Profile of a face with a rainbow colored brain. Personal autism attributes in various colors font. Since I am a visually oriented thinker, pictures come before words. Words flow easier if I can create an image or images first. Here is one case in point. I am very grateful for PixTeller.com for providing the royalty free images and designing capability.

I wasn’t meant to be a primary caregiver

As I have mentioned in posts over the last 2 years, my mom passed away 2.5 years ago. Caring for her in her final months was difficult, but doing it as an autistic person 5 days in a row the first couple weeks was impossible. She was in the end stages of pulmonary fibrosis. She weighed 70 pounds and was gradually withdrawing from eating and drinking. She had reached the point where she was scared to be alone. For. A. Single. Instant. I tried to tell my family that this much intensive care for 5 days straight was too much. I couldn't process it. There was no fresh supply of spoons and I was on auxiliary power. I have recently become acquainted with the Spoon Theory. Here is Wikipedia's definition: of the s poon theory: "The   spoon theory   is a disability metaphor used to explain the   reduced amount of energy   available for activities of daily living and productive tasks that may result from disability or chronic illness." Maybe they thought because

The migraine, one of my co-morbids and how it affects me.

I didn't know that the vile migraine had an awareness ribbon and month (June). They are not simply headaches. They alter mood, create nausea and vomiting, make darkness and silence a must, cancel plans and are chronic.   My migraines were few and further between as a child (I got about 2-3 a year and had to go to bed, vomiting periodically), but increased in my teens along with autistic regression. I inherited mine from my mother. It is always the same eye. I don't get the the visual aura but I do have the olfactory (smell) phantosmia . Mine are blessedly fewer than 14 per month. My heart goes out to those of you who experience more than 14 a month. Love and support are so very important. My parents were very understanding. My mom had to hold me while I cried sitting on the bathroom floor, head pounding and vomiting into the toilet to the point it had to be flushed at least twice. I can expect them during right before and during my menstrual cycle. Sensory overload and
