Abundant Blessings In My Garden

Posted in Daily Happenings

God has blessed our garden with bountiful harvest right from the start. I couldn't believe the GINORMOUS cucumbers that have "sprung forth" from that tiny plant we set in the ground not too long ago. WOW! The cucumber on the left is a "normal" sized one my sister brought over.

We have also been blessed with beautiful tomoatoes that are almost ready to be picked.........

and our first "pickin" of beans, was AMAZING, since I have NEVER been able to grow them before! WOOT! WOOT!

We are also waiting patiently for our "hinding" Ambrosia melons to ripen. Oh, I can't wait for the "sweet as candy" taste of this delicious fruit. This was one of my mother's favorites. She loved eating things fresh from my garden, even though her idea of a garden was a can opener and the canned vegetable aisle at Wal-Mart! lol

(

you, Mom!)

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the blessings you have bestowed upon our family. Thank you for providing for us with a bountiful beginning from our garden. Thank you for the rain that you so graciously poured down upon us this day. Thank you for the life that you have given to each of us, that we my enjoy the fruits of our labors.

Thank you for your undying, never-ending love for us, and for the ultimate sacrifice that you gave...............YOUR LIFE!

God bless you all an may your gardens be plentiful and your love for Christ be overflowing!

Blessings~
Laura
