Lessons from My Backyard Garden

Two days ago I enjoyed looking at the bumper crop of wild dandelions (!) And I read about it today! LOL and wondered as I did since 16 years why do folks in America get rid of lovely flowers from their boring green lawns! 😁 of course I am still learning to differentiate. Lol.

But seriously I learn about the beauty of the controlled boring green lawns and, now about wild beauty with a different perspective.

1. GOD is mercifully and abundantly blessing even the wicked, at times more than even the 'good' needed plants like my cauliflower and broccoli that delay.
Also my zucchini just show luscious green edible leaves & flowers but no zucchini. (Delay) I took away leaves and cooked so not sure if I harmed it. :)

Acknowledge God's timing, while thanking God for giving 'delayed' sweet berries that also needed hedge of protection over it.

2. I faithfully water and try to remove weeds as and when I can but even then I have to remember if I am doing what I should and sorry for what I don't, yet God bleeses it is His mercy & even when He divinely witholds crop, or delays I still be confident looking at the wild beauty & say if God generously beautifies the "unwanted" weeds so graciously how much more would He be faithful to sustain my well tended plants & me?

3. Even if He chooses to let it die, I trust His wisdom...and His plan, His will. We believe in the God who resurrected and came out of the grave alive and well. He restores....He regenerates...

4. When plants do good, trust and thank Him, when plants delay in fruits, trust and thank Him, when plants die, trust and thank Him; instead of the joy of having my own garden veges and fruits, when God leads me to a temporarily closing Aldi in the 'hood, and the perishable items such as veges and fruits are on really cool sale, trust and thank Him and give glory to Him for leading you there. Thank Him for wisdom to learn from others what fertilizers to use, what nutrients the land may be lacking, while thanking God for even provision of that, still remember joyfully that God reserves the right to not let it grow or flourish out of a better, AND best plan and purpose! So trust in His divine care!

5. No one will be able to accuse God of being partial to bless only His children as He has been generous to all above and beyond!

Look at the pictures from my backyard and rejoice in learning lessons, that the Lord is teaching me, at the old swing!

Psalm 73 don't lose our foothold, our confidence, when looking at the prosperity of the disobedient folks..

Psalm37: fret not thyself because of the prosperity of the "weeds"....

Even when fruits delay, rejoice and thank Him. Thank God for all bumper well tended flower crop that God causes to grow!

All about Him and Him alone!
Renewed, refocusing on Christ alone!
God's truly,
