It's too hot to be outside, so I'm reading emails and up pops the newsletter from the Garden Club of Dallas. Had to share this from Tom Wilten. He said only Texans could appreciate the weight of this blessing.
Bless this house, oh Lord we request.
Please keep us cool in mid-August.
Bless the walls where termites dine,
While ants and roaches march in time.
Bless our yards where spiders pass
Fire ant castles in the grass.
Bless the garage, a home to please
Carpenter beetles, ticks, and fleas.
Bless the love bugs, two by two,
The gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.
Millions of creatures that fly or crawl,
In Texas Lord, you’ve put them all.
But this is home and here we’ll stay,
So thank you Lord for insect spray!
