At the time, I was living in Missouri, temporarily, in a townhouse and I was planting a little garden, but I knew that I may never reap the harvest because either we would have moved by then or winter would arrive and everything would die. The LORD wanted me to know that He delighted in my taking the time and care to plant veggies and flowers even if we would only get to enjoy them for a short time. He wanted me to understand that it mattered, to HIM. It matters to HIM when we take the time to plant, tend, and cultivate beauty and to have hearts in awe of all that He created and gives us.Seawashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299816851144887705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-15309831969404527112008-04-23T18:28:00.000-05:002008-04-23T18:28:00.000-05:00I completely agree with you!!

There's also a YouTube on Dick and Rick Hoyt with the MercyMe music playing to it. I can't make it through that without bursting into tears. God's love is just SO powerful!<BR/>I have been using a book called "The Green Lifestyle Handbook" 1001 Ways You Can Heal The Earth by Jeremy Rifkin since it was printed in the 90's.
