“And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path…”
Matthew 13:3-4

Years ago we planted box gardens in the front of our house. We wanted to teach our girls the importance in growing your own food as well as give them an understanding of where our food really comes from.

In general, the girls love helping in the garden. And they certainly love eating anything we pick from the garden. Somehow fruits and vegetables they were unwilling to try before, become wonderfully delicious when they pick it themselves.

Gardening is a great way to connect with people and the environment. And can be a calm time for reflection.

Reminiscing about Zion National Park this week as we visited there a year ago today. Obviously, this bible passage refers to a different Zion but it still relates to waiting to go to a wonderful place. Daydreaming about the places we will once again visit is helpful during stay-at-home orders. And hope is always a useful tool when going through struggles.
Where do your daydreams take you?
