Native Plant Salvage will have their annual fall plant sale on Sunday, October 2 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at our WSU Extension offices at 4131 Mud Bay Rd. West/Harrison Ave. (formerly McLane Fire Station). This is a great sale. Not only do they feature native plants, but also non-native water wise perennials. We volunteer with Native Plant Salvage and will be helping to set up Saturday and after church Sunday.

By the way, Native Plant Salvage donated quite a few shade-loving native plants to our church. Jim and I planted a sunny native plant garden last year and are now working on a shade garden. The great thing is they won't require water after they're established and they look great.

Temporarily Enabled
Okay, so I was eavesdropping! I overheard one woman talking to two others and using the term, “temporarily enabled” as opposed to disabled. One of the others mentioned how wonderful it is that God makes each of us special in different ways. I joined in the conversation a bit and agreed with both.
I am “temporarily enabled.” In most ways. My arthritis makes life difficult sometimes so I’m not completely enabled. For several years, OCD made life difficult in many ways. Isn’t that the way it is for all of us? God enables each of us to do what He has purposed us to do. At any point I might lose an ability. At this point, I’d be better suited for a different purpose. I think this is one of the ways God guides us.
And the other overheard comment about how God makes each of us special in different ways … how true! We all need to remind ourselves how special we are, about how God has a purpose for each of us, using the abilities and disabilities, however temporary they are.
