The heavy rains, winds and storms we had over the last few days of last
week almost completely trashed my herb garden. The tomatoes which had
already been overgrown became too heavy and collapsed with the rain.
While I was cutting them back off the fence so that I could dig them out, I noticed that a lot of the stems had died
already and many were thin and lanky and had no strength but they all
contributed to the overall weight off the pack.
Had I thinned them out during the growing process there might have been
enough strength in the good plants for them to withstand the storm. Storms provide us with a really unique opportunity. That is the
opportunity during the clean up to review the past and analyse the
mistakes we have made.
If you have been through or are going through a storm right now, ask God
to give you the strength to see what you can glean and learn through
this painfull experience.
