God's Garden

I believe that gardening is a way to talk to God one on one. Along with working, you are alone where you can hear God speak and you are out there with nature. God's creations. The bible speaks often of gardens and gardening. The world is God's garden. We are his creations along with animals and plants alike. God created enough resources to feed all of his people and animals but our misuse has been detrimental to those resources. So, by gardening, you can help give back to God.

God waters and feeds all of the plants of the world. When you look at the forests, the wildflowers, the ocean plantlife, the grass, you are looking at the work of the first and the most experienced gardener the world knows.

So, if you feel overwhelmed with the worries in your life, pick up a kitchen grow-kit or a few seeds from a local nursery or hardware store, and plant them. Watching them grow everyday is nourishing to your soul and it has a calming effect on your senses. It also gives you a sense of accomplishment. Plus, it yields nutritious and tasty eats!

• Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
