BY GOD'S GRACE, MAY OUR FAMILY TREE BEAR GOOD FRUIT AS WE GROW TO KNOW & LOVE HIM MORE EACH DAY.

FIRST HARVEST

 
We made our first salad last night from our first garden harvest complete with a variety of greens and FOUR tomatoes. Woohoo!
BUT...Olia counted 88 blossoming green tomatoes (tomahtoes as Boden says) on our plants. What a harvest that will be!

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9

(one of my all time favorite verses for parenting encouragement)
 
Over dinner we discussed the biblical symbolism of sowing and harvesting throughout Scripture, looking to our little garden to
cultivate more than just salad, but a harvest in our hearts. Yes, we're learning all the time and grateful for our very first harvest.

"And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace."
James 3:18
 
"I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him,
he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
John 15:5
