Thread Name: BS: The Late Winter Garden
Subject: RE: BS: The Late Winter Garden
One of the best sermons I ever heard discussed the wonder of gardening. To the best of my recollection the preacher said something like:

God has tucked millions of beautiful miracles right down there into the ground – more miracles than we could ever imagine! Those miracles of beauty are justa settin' there, waitin' to burst out into the world. And in His wisdom He has given unto us the keys to use to unlock these miracles from where they're a-settin'. Oh, yeah! He gave 'em to us. Those keys are ours to use. They are gifts from our glorious God!

Now, here's the best part. Alls you gotta do is to push those keys into the ground and wait. Just wait and have faith. And after you've waited just 'bout as long as you can stand it, POP! Out comes a watermelon. Or maybe you used at different kind of seed. In that case, POP! Out comes a geranium or a rose bush or some pole beans. They are miracles! Ever' one of them is a miracle!
