Amos 4:9 “…they will make gardens and eat their fruit.”

The last few days I have spent cleaning up the garden. After several mornings of below freezing temperatures, the poor thing looked rather tired. I always feel sad as I rake up old and dead plants, remembering how bountiful they once were…but it’s also a time of reflection. I ponder the different varieties I planted in the Spring…which ones did well, which didn’t…and which ones I’ll plant again next Spring. But as I sit here in the kitchen reflecting, with a big pot of vegetable soup simmering on the stove, I thank the Lord for the bountiful harvest He has given me…for all the lovely vegetables we’ve enjoyed eating over the Summer, and all the ones packed in the freezer for this Winter. I may plant the seed in the Spring…but it’s the Lord Who makes it sprout, grow, and provide a great harvest.
