Yesterday, Steve and I spent the morning out in my mother in laws garden picking tomatoes, green beans and corn. And pulling up a lot of grass from around the plants.
It is not hard to be out in the garden and think about the parables that Jesus told about the seed. And to see in order to have the "good stuff" you have to get rid of all the "bad stuff" trying to choke it out. And without the sun none of that "good stuff" would be able to grow, just like without the Son we wouldn't be able to either. And without the rain/water to feed it the vegetables wouldn't be able to grow, just like we need to water our hearts daily with the Word. Nothing too earth shattering in thought here, it's just when you are out working in the garden it is all easier to see. I also couldn't help but think of Denver in Same Kind Of Different Than Me, because he picked cotton and what a back breaking job that must have been. We were only out a couple of hours and we both can barley move today. Imagine all the people that have and do do that on a day in and day out basis just in order to get by?? But the good thing is we sure enjoyed eating all of those things for dinner last night! The tomatoes especially are just amazing! Just wish they would last as long as apples or something, because I am afraid they will spoil before we can bring any home.
My friend Grace sent this email with this video of a couple dancing at their wedding reception, that I thought was so fun. So here is your laugh for the weekend. Don't you know this couple is going to have some fun together?
Blessings on your weekend.
