“So usually it’s Erik that works on our garden here at the house..but yesterday he was busy all day putting up our fence around the back side of our home..so I went ahead and started messing around in there and getting the weeds and some peppers and tomatoes picked..and at first I thought it won’t be all that bad..Amen..I can water it and pull some of the weeds..not a big deal right?..well, that’ what I thought anyways until I got started and the more I pulled one weed there was another and another..and I was getting tired..and tired pretty fast..and I thought wow this is not an easy job Lord whatsoever..Amen..but as I am doing this I as well thought about the benefits of it all and at how thankful and how blessed we are by it..and not only us but as well our extended family..friends..and even our coworkers..Amen..so it is hard to say the least..and it gives you a whole other level of respect for them ones in whom tends and mends gardens..Amen!”

“But I as well begin to think about us and spiritually speaking here at how the Lord desires that we ourselves tend and work on our gardens so to speak..at how we are to take care of who we are for Christ..and at how daily we are to pull up them weeds..dig down deep into the soil of our hearts and work on them things that are gnawing away at who we are for the Lord..and them things that are holding us back from becoming and being everything we could and should be for Christ..and at how we get tired of working on us and our so called gardens..and we just kinda of give up pulling them weeds of life that the word of God speaks of in Hosea 10:4/Matthew 13:29/Matthew13:7/Mark4:19..Amen..and we just stop..and in doing so we don’t yield the fruit that we should be yielding..Amen..we don’t become all of them things that we could..all because we stop..we give up..we get tired in our well doing..but guys ya know if we hold on through the rough spots of our growth..and we let God deal with us and who are as individuals..the outcome is beautiful..and not only beautiful for us and who we are for Him..but as well it is beautiful for our families..for our friends..and our coworkers..Amen!”

“Think about it for a minute..when were flourishing in who we are for Christ..the ones around us as well benefit..because there is always enough to give to others..when we take time we do have them overflowing cups..overflowing onto them lives of others..Amen..when we’re filled up and when we’re happy..and when we’re made right..living right..walking right..keeping ourselves free from all of those so-called weeds of life..than we are doing everyone a benefit..not only ourselves..Amen..so don’t give up on gardening your life..1 Corinthians 3:6..keep working on your garden..for God is blooming wonderful and beautiful gifts..talents..and many great and magnificent attributes in you..for God multiples us..and especially when it comes to growing and maturing for Him and who we are for Him..so keep watering..weeding..and pulling up anything and everything that would try to hinder or stop your growth in the Lord..for in doing so..sooner or later you will have the most lovely and beautiful garden that you’ve ever seen in your life for Christ Jesus our Lord..Amen..so let us all keep working and working daily on our gardens becoming the most fruitful children that we can be for our Father..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
