Garden

This week's post from Lisa-Jo included a surprise. A huge fundraiser for amazing things. See here for more information.

So this week's prompt is garden.

My garden is a mess. We didn't have a garden before we moved here, and we've done ok with it. In the summer it yielded mountains of vegetables. Its sheltered spot with plenty of sunshine and making sure it was well watered produced great things.  But it was all thanks to my mum who started all the plants off, whether from seed, or by nurturing the first young plants. I'm very grateful to her, and hope she will do the same this year.

I guess that's a bit like life. I want the crops, the end product, the vegetables. But I'm not so good at starting things off. I need someone to give me a kick start. Maybe I worry too much,  maybe I dont have the skills, or maybe I'm too lazy. The kickstart though, gets me going and I can see it through.

My new job is an example.  My wonderful friend Ruth found it and told me to apply.  My great friend Claire helped me fill in the application form and cheered me on my way, and the same friends and my husband encouraged me to be myself at interview,  where they offered me the job.

From the seeds God places in our hearts, great things can happen. I encourage you this week to see what seeds are being planted, and how you can nurture them and make them grow. Good luck, and let me know what's growing in your heart.

God bless x
