Gardens

It's the beginning of June.  My garden is planted.  I actually planted it a couple of weeks ago because we were having such unusually warm weather.  Since I planted it, I've only had to water it once.  I know it's early in the season, but so far "Mother Nature" is taking care of everything.  It rains, it's sunny, it rains, it's sunny... this is all in one day.  Everything is growing nicely and I fully expect a fruitful, productive garden this year.

As we watch nature, we can translate this into  every area of our lives.  If we pay attention we realize that we're every bit as taken care of.  We have food, shelter, clothing, sunshine, rain, the beauty of flowers in the summer, snow in the winter, colored leaves in autumn, and blossoms in the spring.  There's SO MUCH to be grateful for.

Our life is like a garden.  As we look forward with expectation, anticipation and excitement about what is growing and when it's going to "pop up" in our gardens, we should also expect, anticipate and be excited about what's growing and what's going to "pop up" in our lives each and every moment of each and every day.  We should fully expect fruitful and productive lives.

Love,  Paula
