Garden of your heart

The garden is almost finished.....

I picked the remaining corn, blanched and froze it yesterday.  I had to throw out some as I picked it a little too late.  Bummer!  I need to get better at the picking of corn. 

I picked two watermelon that are in our fridge.  We still have a couple canteloupe growing and all our tomatoes.  I do plan to plant some lettuce probably in a week or so.  I want to clean up some of the garden. 

Why is it, that the end of the garden season, I poop out?   As I think of this, I realize that maybe I have some character issues that need to be dealt with.  I start out strong, motivated, enthusiastic...but then I struggling to finish and to finish well.    We are to persevere...be steadfast....to be disciplined....to be focused....I see how many times I lose perspective, lose motivation, rely on feelings rather than just staying steadfast.  Of course, this is more than just with the garden.  Hmmmm....I guess I need to spend some time in prayer over this today!

I am looking forward to fall.  It is my favorite season!  I love the cool weather after such a hot summer.  I enjoy the soups, stews, casseroles, etc for dinner.   I love to decorate for fall in my house with pumpkins, leaves, etc.      

Today...the garden of my heart needs to be tended by the Master Gardener.  I need Him to just cultivate the soil, replenish the fertilize, to strengthen the roots.  What is so wonderful, is He is always there willing and able to do just that!  :)  Let the Master Gardener touch the garden of your heart today!
