There is so much to learn from gardening when we put our hands into the soil and we observe the Wonder of God’s Creation. Here are 10 Lessons to Learn from Gardening:
10. We really do “reap what we sow”. Good seeds bear good fruit.
9. Without rains and storms there is no growth – no fruit is produced.
8. When weeding, be careful! We can’t always tell the difference between a nasty weed and a beautiful flower.
7. Deep roots are a good thing. Without them, we’ll wither and die.
6. Pruning and trimming, as painful as it seems, actually works to our advantage.
5. In gardening, as in life, cheating does not work. Short-cuts, slipshod efforts, and neglect always show up in the quality of our garden.
4. Like anything worthwhile, beautiful gardens require attention, hard work, and commitment.
3. We cannot rush the harvest. Bearing fruit takes time and patience. Premature fruit is almost always sour.
2. Gardening and growing is a lifetime experience. We can experience growth and beauty until the day we die.
1. Fertilizer happens! In fact, nothing much grows without it.

With all our billion-dollar telescopes and satellites peering into outer space 24 hours a day, so far we have not discovered ONE WEED growing on another planet. Fully enjoy the Summer of 2024 that God has given to you and me!!
Whether you have a green thumb or a brown thumb, which of these 10 things apply to your personal life? How do they apply to your spiritual life?
