OH NO!! Not another Halloween debate!

HEATHEN!
I'm also very much into the natural path. Herbs, tinctures, essential oils, organic gardening.

Genesis 1: 29 Then God said, “I now[bh] give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the entire earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.[bi]

I'm all set with the diamonds but will absolutely be getting flowers and a box of chocolates for my honey on Valentines Day. On Feb 15 I am going to score on the marked down chocolates too, some for me, some for her. I really need candy now.

That sounds very interesting to me. Talking about candy now I'm getting hungry, I could eat some of those wild edibles right now. Gonna check the fridge for non-wild edibles.

Yes.
And there is no such thing as a weed. Dandelion is tea and coffee and greens, and the flower in bloom is when it's yellow is a tasty treat.
Plantain is vitamins B compound and a mosquito repellent.
Curly dock is a wonderful zesty green perfect for wrapping a fish in and baking on a camp fire.
Day flower is a energizing tea, and a tasty nibble while out in the wild.
Hen bit is great in a pesto, or sauteed with other greens.
I can go on and on.

When I was married and times were good between us, we'd buy presents to mail to the fam in time for Christmas. Then we'd go to the local Hallmark and each take a section of the Christmas card selection to find the card we wanted to give one another. We'd hand them over and read each and then put them back. Better than recycling.

We didn't buy presents for ourselves for Christmas day. Instead, we'd grocery shop the day before and then go to this little bungalow we would rent for Christmas eve and day and that was situated in a private area at a gorgeous beach. We'd fix a wonderful meal as our days gift to one another.
Then a couple of days after Christmas we'd separate at the stores and buy one another presents marked down as much as 80%. And wrap them with wrapping paper marked down just as much, after having met at the car with the goodies double bagged so as to not spoil the mutual surprises.

Good times.

Good ole pine needle tea is a revitalizer when out in the wild lands.
Honey suckle is a great sweet to add to your wild green.
Honey suckle and wood sorrel tossed together with chickweed and green briar tips.

Seriously, I do know what you mean.

I see those commercials for lawn poisons that include killing one of the best blood purifiers in the yard. Weeds? God's medicine chest! Weeds! Please!
And then that one buys that lawn poison and spreads it on the grass they'd raked clean of the leaves the trees dropped to provide a natural insulation and ground blanket for the cold season.
Then later goes to the pharmacy to fill their prescription for heart med's and blood thinners that risk their lives. When Burdock root and red clover are superior solutions that can be grown in one's own poison free yard. Natural medicine for what ails and that provide less risk for death. Especially due to hemorrhage. And they don't lead to needing more prescriptions to offset the side effects of the heart med's and blood thinners.

Love honey suckle. Wood sorrel is a great thirst quencher too.

Right, and golden rod for allergies.

Coltsfoot for asthma.

Stinging nettle is very good for allergies too.

Yeah but I never advise someone to use stinging nettle, hog wort, yellow root, powerful plants like that can hurt someone.

Arthritis and gout as well. Coltsfoot is very good also for those healing their lungs and respiratory system after they stop smoking. Both tincture and smoking its flowers, leaves and even the buds.

Ginger for headaches.

I use stinging nettle in the capsulized ground powder form. Never had any problems nor were they reported by others.

I agree...
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

It's easy to decide that something is right or wrong based about how we "feel" or based on our emotions. The problem is our sinful nature has altered our ability to tell right from wrong. That's why we need God to correct our false perceptions. Even if something seems "ok" to us, or "feels right" it can lead ultimately to death. God promises that as we live in a love relationship with Him, He will lead and guide us on the straight path!

Have Have you ever harvested wild?
Stinging is in the name for a reason.

I hear that.....desert living here, but from past experience of living other places, July 4th is hot everywhere,.......at least here we don't have hot AND humid. Only place for a cool 4th is Alaska.

The kids probably are going to get stiffed on 'trick or treating" this year.
The farce of co-ved has no end to its dastardly results.

You ain't the only one who sees it as a farce.
