CHRISTIAN GROWTH LIKE A GARDEN

I’ve spent some time lately in the veggie garden; I enjoy the sights and sounds of the garden growing. The beans quietly stretching up through the soil, the tomato plant as it battles against the spring cold with its occasional dash of yellow that may grow into a plump orange fruit, the burst of colour of the salad lettuces, and all the time the work of the honey bees as they zip from raspberry flower to raspberry flower, and the odd drone of fat bumble bee as it joins in the work, taking its turn in the production of a fine accompaniment to vanilla ice-cream. I enjoy the garden for what it produces, and the process of the production.
