I took a moment to pause the other day and thought how grand it could be to start a garden with my children. All the life lessons that can be learned by being one with the earth.Plus the satisfaction of having fresh, organic, self-produced food at the end of summer. As the children and I potted seeds together, I took the opportunity to talk with the kids about faith made the comparison of seeds, sun, water, weeds, but so many analogies can be made from the process of growing and nurturing plants.
The beauty of the Earth can be so spiritual if we only take a moment to notice. The colors in the sunset, symbolism of new spring flowers, the smell of each season, the soothing flow of a mountain river. Peace that is felt when there is no one around but you and the quiet of nature.
