It’s the time of year to start getting the garden ready to plant. I have to till it up real good since it has been disked to break up the clots. Then after Easter, I’ll start planting. We always plant a big garden so that we will have plenty for ourselves and also so we can give to those we know of that are having hard times because of the economy. We have to look out for one another now that so many are affected with job layoffs and so many foreclosures around here.
Of course, we ask for nothing in return and in fact, a lot of the people we help come and help in the garden too. Some of them have requested to plant some things that they like too so they can help others also. It has sort of turned into a community garden with a lot of love put into it. God blesses us every year with a great harvest and it’s good to help those in need no matter if they help in the garden or not. Our whole nation needs to be looking out for each other more than we have in the past several years and maybe we won’t get in a mess like we’re in again any time soon.
