It has been a long time since we tried growing any garden vegetables. A neighbor gave us a wheelbarrow that we have not used yet. So, since we already have a different wheelbarrow, we wondered if it could make a good planter. With some compost and some herb seeds it looks like there is a start to a small herb garden. I believe these are cilantro shoots. There also are some really tiny chives and basil leaves popping up.
Herbs seem delicate, so I’ve been moving the wheelbarrow under cover when heavy rains hit. Then it gets rolled back to the sun when it is clear. I hope these herbs will thrive to produce some useable plants.
It makes me think of the following verse related to hope.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
We can hope for good things in our lives and in the world. Sometimes it seems beyond reach. But we can let our hope grow. When we provide the right ingredients of faith and love, they strengthen each other. That combined with the knowledge of the Bible regarding heaven and the plan of salvation, we can encourage each other in our hope.
