How Does Your Garden Grow?

One of the things our family is doing this year is coming up with "family projects" to complete together over the weekends.... This past weekend we enjoyed being outside in the incredible weather and prepared our garden for planting!  It was interesting to see how each of our personalities came through and how we ended up working together by using each other's strengths. 

Joel was really excited about the idea of buying a new tiller.  He said it would take the work of hours and turn it into minutes.  Thea really enjoyed using the hand tiller and twisting the weeds and dirt with her muscles.  Sam wanted to just pull as many weeds out as fast as he could and I loved feeling the dirt between my fingers, watching my family come together to do something good. 

So much is said about how "it takes a village" to raise kids these days.  It's cliche but true!  When we work together and use each other's strengths to work together toward the common goal of making disciples we end up with so much good! 

Building up our children to become believers is a powerful (and sometimes scary) job.  Let's lean on each other and work together!
