Nature Should Be Nurtured
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
In everything we have to do on earth, the challenge is to find what is best, and to nurture that.
Gardening, raising children, walking with God -- the way to be most successful in life on earth is the same for all three.
Find what is beautiful, and nurture it. It is perfectly fine to move things around -- just do so carefully, and at the proper time for each thing. Keep the soil well-fed and aerated. Pull the weeds when the weeds are young and tender and when the soil around them is soft. (They come out easily then.) Enjoy, celebrate, and praise.
That's life in a nutshell.
And if we do these things life is wonderful sure enough .
ReplyDeleteWeed and feed!! It works GREAT!
ReplyDeleteSounds like "life in a nutshell" is good!!! Who would not think that was wonderful??? Tending a garden, raising children, walking with God... the ways things should be.
ReplyDeleteCultivate love and kindness in your garden and you will always be rewarded with a fruitful harvest.
ReplyDeleteMy garden was a bit neglected this summer. I didn't weed enough or even feed enough but it'll work doubly hard next spring and repair the damage that's been done. It's not hopeless.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to CELEBRATE! The beautiful things need to be :
