Faith, when lived out loud, can spread so quickly and so deeply, it becomes a force multiplier in any human effort.
Like seeds that rest in fertile soil, when the conditions are just about right, stuff happens.
So come, sit, look around a bit, and if a thought comes to mind, a tear to the eye, a smile to the lips…tell us about it.
If it’s genuine, it important.
I was wondering when this site would be alive and now it is. It feels like I have been looking over the fence into your garden and I like what I see. I’m not much of a gardener, but I really enjoy your point of view. The post about being loving or right was spot on! That girl’s parents should be very proud of her. Carry on with this site, even if the print is so tiny. Old eyes work harder, I guess.
The pictures on this site are really beautiful. Do you take them or buy them somewhere? It seems like the pictures match the post in someway, but I guess I could be imagining it. You said to say what’s my favorite post so far, so if I had to choose, it would be between the one about creating something from nothing or the one that talked about all the examples of blessings that we overlook. I liked them all, but I’m old and sentimental.
Im not sure where this comment will end up, but my wife said to put something, so I put something. I don’t understand blogs and the internet very well, but I like good writing and I love gardens, especially ones I don’t have to weed! So, there, I wrote something.
I was hoping for some gardening tips, but what I found was better. Ways to live more intentionally and less by default. I like it.
I have watched in awe over the last few years as you have tilled, planted and harvested your plans. Waiting and watching to see what would become of your endeavors. You have been so successful and I cannot help but believe this blog will produce the same results…………..Blessings in abundance to you as you plow ahead !!!
Considering I have two black thumbs, this blog has encouraged me, challenged me, and will hopefully give me some great tools for the days ahead. We will continue to look here for more great “gardening” insights.
The post “I am my father’s daughter” is so sweet!! I love it!! Recognizing that we are a huge mixed-bag of folks is a wondrous thing!! I love the authors’ objective view and could actually “feel” her lovingly emotional statements. It is a beautifully written synopsis of awareness, acceptance, thankfulness, and peace that I will always remember. Thank you for sharing!!
I think this is an excellent way for you to help others by presenting them with your thoughts/ideas/musings in a well worded, succinct format. I don’t read blogs like ever, but I think (this) is one worth frequenting and I look forward to many more posts.
So staying in to beat the summer heat, means more time on the computer to pass the time–since “news” is all bad and at best questionable, I thought I’d see what others are saying that may be worth considering (better than video gaming :) ) I found your blog because a friend is one of the bloggers. I read one of her posts and stayed to read more. VERY interesting mixed bag of views, and not all of them sweetness and light. Life is gritty enough and with a view that is all ‘good’ or all ‘woe’s me’, it can’t settle into a balanced picture. Truthfully, I’d rather be gaming or hitting the hiking trails, but I think I might come back for another visit someday. cheers! charlie
I was reading one of the posts about a month ago, and last week, my mother sent me a link to a story that sounded familiar to me. At first, i thought it was in my social media feed, but then I searched my bookmarks and found the link to the story I read. When I went back to this site, there were three other really fine articles and I found myself rooting around in your site, reading all the other articles and forgot the laundry. My husband’s work shirts look awful, but I am calmer and blessed by what you posted. thank you for taking the time to do this! One lady in the hill country felt loved and known for just a few minutes today.
sure would like to know more about the group running this site–no agenda that I can see, nothing being sold, and nothing expected rare thing, today, rare thing
The article about not understanding math and hiding from proof of ignorance hit home to me. I used to do the same thing and I was home schooled! (I know, right?) My mother was not a strong teacher but what she did teach me was time management, gratitude, and the importance of asking for help-like when your kids need better math preparation than you can offer. You just reach out to the community. Do you know there’s actually people who LIKE math? (I know, right?) I laughed out loud to imagine the author hiding and wanting to disappear in the library and the teacher telling her no. I enjoy these stories a lot.
Thanks for stopping by!
Come back soon & visit us again!
