Faith

Every year at conference time we plant a garden. It's just tomatoes, yellow squash, and zucchini, but we work hard at it. We add fertilizer, cultivate the soil, and lovingly place the seeds or plants in the ground. In the past we've only had mediocre success, but every year we try again with the faith that in a few months our efforts will prove "fruitful." The thought of sweet, juicy tomatoes and warm, buttery squash motivates us. It is the "substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

What about the strawberries? I want my vision to come to pass through your homemade strawberry jam.

Oo, so fun! Everyone was working out in their yards in Chad's neighborhood as well on Saturday. It's a fun feeling to see everyone out there working so hard and beautifying their house's surroundings. I hope your garden produces yummy food for you this year!
