This is such a good example of how God adds and subtracts that I just have to share it.

     The other day I was working in the garden.  I have expanded and decided that I want to move the rhubarb and asparagus to a new place.  Although I have plenty of room for my 11 plants I realize that I do not need 11 plants and so I call my husband and ask him if he thinks 6 plants would be just fine.  He agrees that all we need is 6 plants.

     I move 6 plants to the new area and then begin removing the other plants and gently place them in a large canvas bag.  I place about 10 - 15 in that bag.  
The plants are huge and so they are becoming multiple large plants.  Then I put 4 plants in large pots for some family members.  Some neighborhood boys offer to bring the rhubarb around the neighborhood to offer free.  I notice a few plants with no place to go, so I add them to my row as to not have them wasted.

     The boys return as I am moving the potted plants to the driveway.  One of the boys says, " Kathy, I thought you only wanted 6 plants?"  I then explained why I had placed the extras in the ground.  He then carefully counted the plants in my row and said, "Well now you have 12 plants."  I took a moment to explain to him that this was God's math.  When we think we are giving, we are really getting.

     I began to think about the rhubarb.  For many months throughout the summer I pick from 40 - 50 pounds a week and bring it to Church to give away, maybe God didn't want me to only have 6 plants, maybe His plan is that I have more to give away.  Maybe, somehow this rhubarb is being used by Him.
