Sharing from the garden is just as much a part of gardening as is planting. watering or fertilizing. Sharing is just part of being a gardener. God created all of us equally; however, some of us have been given different talents than others. Therefore, it behooves us, as Christian, to share of our bounty, gardens and lives. Tithing is a given and then there are the missionary type opportunities. There is also family, friends and neighbors.
A couple lived next door to a widow who lived alone in a large house. Many times when they were cooking, an extra portion was shared with the neighbor. Soups, chili and spaghetti were often moving from one house to the other. And delicious cookies often made their way back as well. Give of what you have to those who have not.
Did not Jesus say, “if you have done this to the least of these, you have done it also to me.”? Find someone, today, with whom you can share. Share of your blessings and share of the way God has changed your life.
Gardening Tip: In your water garden, tropical water lilies add a riot of beauty especially if you have selected a truly tropical lily. Hardy lilies bloom only in the day while tropicals will stay open longer and bloom later into the season. Night blooming tropical water lilies open later in the day and will remain until early the next morning.
