The first principles of gospel gardening
Today in Church every member of our family shared testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ (except Quinan who was sleepy). Kennerley’s comment on Radishes even drew a comment from our Bishop, “I’ll never look at a radish in the same way again.”
After church we were eating watermelon, discussing gardening, and the gospel. I commented that I think the three most important parts of gardening are seeds, compost and water. Michele and the girls quickly added sunshine. A quick thought popped in my head and I then asked, could these four items relate to the first principles and ordinances of the gospel?
Our discussion continued and it turns out that they sure can. We learn from Alma that faith is like a seed. Compost is like repentence, if we overcome, something of waste can become something of great worth. Water is the symbol of baptism. The influence of the holy ghost can be felt many places at once, just like sunshine.
Have you noticed any symbols, types or shadow in your gardening efforts or everyday life?
