Nature's rebirth

"I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring.

Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth?"

- Edward Giobbi

I was just saying to a friend that even as I age and someday get less mobile and hardly able to do lots of harvesting, I'll still want to put seeds in the ground in the spring. I LOVE watching those little seedlings sprout and watch the plant grow – it is absolutely therapeutic for me. I believe God is amazing for thinking it all up!

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:9-11
