Seeing God through gardening (1)
Gardening is a passion that my late mother had passed on to me as a child. I can still remember the hours I spent with her in the garden, pruning, trimming, potting, re-potting, positioning, repositioning the many varieties of plants all around the garden for them to thrive best. From my observation and her work, I learned so much.
I learned that different plants required different types of soil, right amounts of sunshine and water, propagation for best growth. In a way it reminds me that I’m like a plant that God created. For me to grow best in my walk with God, I have to ensure that I place myself – with God’s wisdom of course – in the right environment and friends. I need fertilizer frequently for me to continue to bloom just as much as I need the renewal of the Spirit daily through praying and reading the ancient Word of God, the Bible.
