We have a spare room in our house, and typically, it’s in use. But these aren’t typical days. So instead of company, my spare room is housing a different sort of guest. At present, the room is a greenhouse to a motley crew of herb, tomato, and pepper plants. It’s a sunny nook and I think my little plants are quite happy sleeping in it.
The peppers had me well convinced they were dead — to the point I almost stopped watering them. But, perhaps sensing their own demise, they popped through the soil just in time. And, because I am the kind of person who lets seedlings sleep in her guest room, it may come as no surprise that I keep thinking about those peppers and all they might teach me. . . .

We are growing things also, hubby had them on our deck, but our resident raccoon discovered them and proceeded to make a mess of them. Hubby fixed them and now they are on our screen porch in a sunny place. Our pepper plant is growing like crazy and we are still awaiting the seeds to show some life. Hope you are well, Cathi.
We’re doing well. How about you guys? We’re hoping to get everything planted in the garden this weekend. The weather is finally warming up here in Massachusetts so we’re looking forward to being outside more in this new season <3
Great sentiment in this post. I love the wisdom of gardening and growing seeds. It’s such a joy that throughout the Bible God uses plants and seeds to display His glory and wisdom. Thanks for sharing this!! Happy growing!
I was actually surprised how often the Bible uses the illustration of seeds, planting, harvesting and so forth. The lessons become so much more real when you do it with your own hands. Thanks for your comment, Whitney!
