Fruits of the Garden

Gardening is yet another language I am learning. Though I have a lot to learn and much work to do still to make our garden, "garden savvy." We grew many things like cucumber, raspberries, zucchini, bell peppers, celery, lettuce, carrots, snap peas, spinach and lots of herbs. Our tummies were very happy. Sweet corn was our absolute favorite thanks to the seeds we imported from America.
I couldn't help to think of the curse of sin everyday I would visit the garden. There would be new pesky bugs and weeds each time. I honestly HATE weeds, and I honestly HATE my sin. So, as I spent time in the garden making it beautiful, I remembered how gracious God is to pluck my sin out and make me beautiful like Him.
