Gardening

I have witnessed a miracle. It is one that probably many farmers, of both the backyard sort, and high acreage farmers have witnessed. The miracle is that of plant growth. About a week ago I went out to my garden and looked at the potatoes we had planted, and there were a couple of plants that were doing well, but it looked like the majority were not going to grow. How wrong I was! When I went out yesterday, I saw many potato plants sprouting up, and looking very good too. I reminded me that in farming, and in leading people to trust Jesus, we may plant, and we may water, but it is God who gives the increase. And that He does in His own good time! I love gardening, because I am often led to contemplate the nature and character of God as I work the land. I am thankful that God gave me such a wonderful husband who has introduced me to gardening!
