When we planted the garden back in June I was skeptical, knowing my gardening skills and knowing that it was late in the season. With a kind rebuke from my father who helped us plant that June day which said, "Pray over your crops and see what happens." With a little prayer, still not enough attention to the daily weeding and tending to make my ancestors proud, we went to work. As a result we have cucumbers growing out our ears and finding their way in Salsas and to neighbors doorsteps (wanted or not). We have a freezer full of peppers, squash, and zuccini. Raspberries surly are manna from heaven knowing that Parker would be devouring them. Tomatoes (thankfully) have transformed into the family favorite marinara sauce. The only casualty seemed to be the pumpkin, but thanks to Charlie Brown's "The Great Pumpkin Patch", we can take care of that.
Such a harvest has us begging the question, "Did we really pray for all of this?" The answer just might be, "Be careful for what you pray for." How thankful we are for answered prayers to fill our freezer, fridge, and home with memories.
