Pulasan season at Chen family orchard

The pulasan, Nephelium mutabile Blume (family Sapindaceae), is a tropical fruit closely allied to the rambutan and sometimes confused with it. It has various common names, including pulasan in English, Spanish and Malay, kapulasan in Indonesia, ngoh-khonsan in Thailand, and bulala in the Philippines.

Usually eaten fresh, it is sweeter than the rambutan and lychee, but very rare outside Southeast Asia.

John12:24 "Most assuredly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies,it remains alone;but if it dies,it produces much grain.

I am planted in Your love O Lord
I am a seed of Christ
I am not buried in my past
Nor am I dead to my mess
For I am planted anew O Lord

I am planted O Lord
Nourished by Your grace
New blessings will spring forth
The old may have gone
But the new abounds

The dirt of life shall not paralyze me
For I am planted as Your seed O Lord
You will turn my mess into a message
You will make miracles out of my mistakes
All for Your glory O God!
Amen.
