Maybe an alternate prayer — let the Lord be merciful to the vandals. The corn is a trivial item meant to give you pleasure from your gardening hobby. It’s not your primary source of income or food. Smile – let it go. It’s a one off; part of life’s adventures.

My 2 cents worth.

Thank you Bob.I hate seeing or hearing about wanton vandalism and petty theft.Luckily,I have never experienced either but I know I would find it hard to forgive and pray for the perpetrators.
You are a wonderful example of walking the Christian walk.Prayers for you and Anna🙏🏻

Thank you, Bob. Your reflection hit home for me today both in a relative I need to pray for and forgive and also for my peaches. We had to move our 2 young peach trees at our new home so the first spring there was no fruit. Our second spring we had tons of peaches growing. We went on a trip and looked forward to ripe peaches to pick when we returned. To our frustration there wasn’t a single peach left on either tree. Squirrels had taken every one 😳. Next year we’ll need to find a way to protect them from the critters. Have a blessed weekend. 🙏

From our Saint for today:

“A man who governs his passions is master of his world. We must either command them or be enslaved by them. It is better to be a hammer than an anvil.”

Thank you Bob. Keeping your anger under control can be difficult. This is a test for our Christianity. Stay strong and pray for those who have offended you. God works out the rest. Peace with you my brother.

Thank you for your wise words. I can relate to everything you wrote today. So thankful for this “faith community “. I can’t think of a better way to start my day.
