PREPARE, December 7 Advent

Home cooking begins
When soil is prepared in spring
To receive the seed

  

April 7 - Preparing the soil

August 11 Harvest

August 12 - Home grown supper

The gardener begins preparing for next year as soon as the harvest is complete.  The farmer plants with hope and expectation, but not certainly that his or her labor will produce fruit.  But without faithful preparation, there will be no harvest.

A poem of hope from March, 2012

Gardens don't always
Keep promises made in spring,
But I keep hoping.

A poem of preparation from April, 2012

Broken and open
Ready to receive and give
Bountiful blessings.


I worked at Family Resource Center for Santa's Helper today, 9 am - 3 pm, except for time-out for Bible study at TUMC.  Helping families PREPARE for Christmas. Below is a very small sampling.  Santa's helper provided Christmas gifts for 125 families this year.
