Gardens Are For Sharing

We worked in one of the gardens yesterday, tidying up and planting some geraniums and a lobellia a dear friend left on my doorstep for my birthday. What a delightful surprise!

Gardens are for sharing, and gardeners are generous people. You can rarely depart from them empty-handed. They love to give away extra plants, a bouquet, or produce. They freely share their knowledge with anyone just starting a garden. God wants his children to have generous hearts when it comes to sharing their faith, too. By giving encouragement, love, and sometimes a challenge, we help each other grow.
Plant a row of flowers just for cutting and giving away. 
~ from Finding God in the Garden Calender

For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established; that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us b the other's faith, both yours and mine. ~ Romans 1:11-12
