On this Wednesday, I send you blessing and light,
May your trust in the Lord always burn bright.
In times of struggle and moments of despair,
Remember that God's grace is always near.

When your little hut is engulfed in flames,
Know that it may be a smoke signal that proclaims,
The rescue of God's love in ways unseen,
Guiding you towards a future that's serene.

When you feel it's impossible, too tough to bear,
God says, "All things are possible," so be aware.
When weariness takes hold and you can't go on,
God whispers, "I will give you rest," until dawn.

If you ever feel unloved, lonely, or rejected,
God assures, "I love you," words always respected.
In times of feeling weak, unable to cope,
God promises, "My grace is sufficient," giving hope.

When you think you can't manage, overwhelmed,
God promises, "I will supply all your needs," upheld.
Fear may try to grip you, causing you fright,
But God declared, "I have not given a spirit of fear," in His light.

When worry and frustration steal your peace,
God reminds, "Cast all your cares on ME," they will cease.
So on this Wednesday, may you trust in the Lord,
Finding strength, peace, and blessings to afford.

May His wisdom guide you, His love fill your soul,
May your faith in Him be the ultimate goal.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, unbreakable,
For He brings forth blessings immeasurable. Amen. Dotcoza

Please be careful.

In the depths of despair, when darkness surrounds,
Take solace in knowing, God's presence resounds.
No matter the sin, the guilt, or the shame,
His Spirit is with you, in every frame.

If heaven you seek, or the depths you explore,
Rest assured, God's presence goes before.
In blessings or trials, in joy or in strife,
His love knows no boundaries, no limit, no life.

When troubles arise and chains hold you tight,
Don't lose hope, for God's power can ignite.
Addictions, lies, and doubts may try to deceive,
But God's strength will set you free, and you'll achieve.

The temptations of Satan, they won't have control,
When you trust in God, He will make you whole.
Repent and return, let His forgiveness restore,
And live a life that honors Him evermore.

So let the power of God shine bright today,
Breaking bo***ge and lighting your way.
Share this motivation with those who may need,
To remind them that God's love will always succeed.

Forward, share, and like, let the message expand,
To bless others and offer them a helping hand.
May your day be awesome, filled with God's grace,
As you embrace His love and run your heavenly race.

On a Wednesday, as the week unfolds,
A motivation poem, let it be told.
In moments of despondency, we may fall,
Our flesh grows weak, weary amidst it all.

The physical toll, fatigue takes its hold,
Listlessness and sluggishness, we're told.
But fear not, for within us lies the source,
God, the strength of our hearts, our guiding force.

Emotional and spiritual, the heart may sway,
Discouragement, dejection, clouds our way.
Passion and zest, once ignited bright,
Despondency drains, extinguishes the light.

Yet, in this darkness, hope begins to gleam,
For "but God" breaks through, like a sunbeam.
In every setback, a bounce back God has planned,
Healing, provision, restoration at His command.

No matter the struggle, the pain or strife,
God can turn it around, bring forth new life.
Sickness, brokenness, loss, or defeat,
With God, all things are possible to meet.

Never give up, despondency reject,
For in God's faithfulness, we can expect
A rise in faith, a soaring like an eagle,
Conquerors we become, with God as our regal.

Whatever you face, declare with strong voice,
"But God Can," for in Him, we rejoice.
Rise in faith, see Him working today,
Turn circumstances, blessings on the display.

So, rebuke despondency, let faith arise,
Let discouragement's hold swiftly demise.
With God by our side, we face every test,
Blessed we become, in Him, we find rest.

May this motivation inspire and bless,
Forward, share, and spread happiness.
Together, let's uplift those in need,
Spreading God's love, every heart to feed.

Father, we pray, rebuke despondency's grasp,
Fill our hearts with faith, let doubt quickly lapse.
Turn situations, in Your mercy and grace,
Guide us each day, in Your loving embrace.

Amen.

Have an awesome day ahead,
May God's blessings be widely spread.
If this motivation has touched your soul,
Share, like, and forward, let God's love be known.
Dotcoza

Some nutritional information:

Microgreens contain a higher concentration of many nutrients when compared with the mature, fully grown vegetables or herbs.

Micro kale greens contain approximately 29 calories per 100 grams.
However, several studies have demonstrated the high level of phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that microgreens contain. Microgreens are also rich in enzymes, which enable them to be more easily digested.

The micronutrients contained in microgreens differ widely depending on type. Researchers at the Department of Nutrition and Food Science at the University of Maryland studied a total of 25 microgreens. The following microgreens had the highest concentrations of four different vitamins and carotenoids: red cabbage, green daikon radish, cilantro and garnet amaranth.

For example: red cabbage microgreens are rich in vitamin C, but low in vitamin E. Green daikon radish microgreens were rich in vitamin E but low in lutein when compared to the cabbage, cilantro, and amaranth.

Dietary tips:

Microgreens can boost colour, enhance flavour and add texture to any dish, while delivering a nutritional boost as well.

Some tips for adding microgreens into meals include:

Use them as a topping for salads and soups.
Toss a small handful into a smoothie or juice before blending.
Use them as a garnish alongside any main dishes.
Place microgreens on top of a flatbread or pizza after cooking.
Add microgreens into an omelette or frittata.
Replace lettuce with microgreens on a burger, sandwich, or tacos.

Risks:

Bacteria growth in sprouts has been a major food safety concern, with several outbreaks of E.coli reported in the media in the past few years. The U.S. government has even gone so far as to recommend that people do not consume sprouts at all.
The potential for bacteria growth with microgreens is much smaller because they are not grown in water. Also, only the leaf and plant are eaten instead of the entire root and seed.

What are microgreens?

Microgreens are the seedlings of vegetables and herbs. Once the seed of an herb or vegetable begins to grow, it is considered a sprout.

Once the sprout begins to grow, the baby plant is considered a microgreen.

Sprouts are usually grown in water and harvested within 2-3 days while microgreens are grown in soil, require sunlight, and are harvested after 1-3 weeks of growing time, when they are about 2 inches tall.

Baby greens are grown for longer periods and are usually around 3-4 inches tall when they are harvested.

So sprouts and microgreens are not one and the same.

The flavour of microgreens depends on the plant they comes from. It can range from mild to tangy, spicy, or peppery. Microgreens are often termed "vegetable confetti."

Microgreens can be grown from any herb or vegetable. Some of the most popularly consumed microgreens include: Cilantro, amaranth, arugula, radish, basil, beets, broccoli, kale and many more.

Sprouts, such as beansprouts, are another popular and healthful food that can be grown at home. Sprouts are newly germinated seeds that are harvested before their leaves develop, while microgreens have leaves.

Many people are not getting the recommended amount of vegetables and fruits per day for many reasons including, access, cost, convenience, and taste preference.

So how awesome is it that Microgreens can easily be grown at home in a small space with little cost. And provide a huge return in terms of nutrients.

Why are microgreens good for you?

Let's look at possible health benefits of the microgreens.
Microgreens may contain high concentrations of nutrients compared with matured vegetables and herbs. Due to their high antioxidant content, microgreens are considered a functional food. A food that promotes health or prevents disease.

Consuming plant-based foods of all kinds has been linked to a reduced risk of many health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

Plant-based foods also support a healthy complexion, increased energy, lower weight, and longer life expectancy.💃💃💃

Microgreens are a hot trend in the food and nutrition world. People wanting to improve their health and wellness through nutrition are sneaking microgreens in their smoothies, piling them on sandwiches, mixing them into salads and even growing them at home.
