You know, even tho your statement may have related to politics, it seemed more a testimony to the wonders of God you see. And I saw sorrow that others are not tuned in to the liberty that God put here for us to claim. Even those who shout about their blessing of free healthcare, turning to their fellow humans for provision, are missing the great freedom we know in looking outward from ourself to revel in God’s bounty. Not sure that makes sense but it sorta says what your words imparted to me.

I’m looking out my window at a tree full of tiny peaches that survived two minor freezing mornings this month. I have a coffee table in front of me full of seeds I’m about to plant and nurture. There is such wonder in these things I can’t imagine a government brainwashing and being my provider. It escapes my reasoning that folks can think a world government run by elites is a good thing. I just can’t wrap my head around it.

I apologize if my comments are contrary to the spirit of the garden thread. My gardening is just so wrapped up in a free life and my dependence on God that it is inseparable. I would not want to disrupt good friendly discourse here tho.

I agree, I feel God’s presence every time I am in the garden. Especially when I see the little seedlings emerge. And the little tendrils of the vining plants finding the structure they can climb up. How can anyone doubt His hand in it when they see that miracle.
