Mastercard Garden Reflections

Hello tender friends!

Our garden regularly makes me cry the good kind of tears. As the season winds down, I’m getting nostalgic.

Maybe you remember the Mastercard commercials from the late 90s. My nostalgia and remembering those commercials has inspired this:

Seeds to plant for the next season-$120

A new hose and sprinkler – $90

Lumber for a chicken coop- $1300

Baby chickens purchased at 2 days old- $50

Garden plastic to hold down weeds- $130

BUT

Watching Cub harvest his first carrot himself- priceless

Listening to the squeals of delight when Cubcollects eggs from the coop-priceless

Discovering that gardening is the meaning of life- priceless

Understanding why paradise was a garden and why sin earned us banishment from that garden– priceless

Priceless, priceless, priceless. Yet free to all because Jesus paid the price.

That’s all for today, tender friends. Monday’s post will be about how Baby Cub got his name (Spoiler alert- Yahweh chose it!). Next Thursday’s post will be about Yahweh’s provision in my writing life.

Thank you for sharing!

      That is the word for it- therapeutic! Yes, it’s hard work, but far more effective than paying for actual therapy!

      I wish more people knew how much more cost effective it is than talk therapy!

        Very true. Nature really is our guide. We can find all the lessons and much wisdom in nature. That includes being in the garden.
