THE SUN IS SHINING

What a wonderful day! Praise the Lord for His goodness!
As Murphy's Law would have it I am nowhere near my garden. Oh, the itching urge to get home and dig in the dirt is consuming my thoughts. It becomes difficult to visit on days like this.
Now that I know my lettuce has poked its head above the ground and my radishes are planted and the little green hairs sticking up through the dirt are trying to become onions for that mouth watering salad I yearn for. I can hardly wait to be sharing my bountiful supply when others are just beginning to plant their seeds or work up their ground. I am beginning to realize that I am a compulsive gardener. It has become a year round urge to see growth and benefit from the fresh produce or beauty of flowering plants.
It brings such joy to my life to be able to share my flowers and plants and produce with my neighbors and friends and family.
To think we can have all these gifts from those tiny little seeds and yet benefit from the time in the fresh air, enjoy the sunshine and get exercise all at the same time. No need to join a gym or tanning salon and the time alone with the Lord is the greatest benefit of all. People often think I must be crazy to love weeding but the time alone with my Lord is so precious and brings me such peace that I can't help but be ADDICTED! Bye
