I admit that I can be out there sometimes, but there are moments that move me in a way I cannot put into words...and I think there is meaning behind those times. Last weekend, when I was in Nashville, my mom had told me about feeling a certain buyer's remorse when she moved...and how in looking for a sign she was in the right place, she found wild strawberries growing in her backyard...It was like a message she was home. My grandpa had strawberry patches growing in his garden for as far back as I can remember. One of my fondest memories of him is going into his backyard and picking strawberries or blueberries to eat. So when my mom told me that, I thought it was cool...But it wasn't until I made my own discovery while mowing (or weedeating) my backyard yesterday that it became real... Yep, you guessed it! They weren't there last year...or the last time I mowed even. To say I got chills would be an understatement. I guess Grandpa is watching over us, too...

This talks about them being poisonous. It says you have to ingest a lot, but a small amount can cause pain in the mouth.

I hadn't heard of these before.
Just check and make sure what they are before you eat them.
Awesome pic, and God is definitely good. :)
I just had a cool thought about the snake berries/strawberries in that they might make a good object lesson. Compare the two. The best way to know that something is a conterfeit is to know the real thing. So it just struck me that the best way to know that it is a snake berry and not a real strawberry is to compare them to the real thing. The way to know a false message from a true one is to know the truth(gospel) well enough that the false becomes obvious. It's late, I'm tired and I'm not saying that well, but hopefully you get the point.
