The really fun part about gardening is all the experimentation. I love
tomatoes and barely a day goes by when I don't either eat fresh tomatoes
or use tomato sauce. I naturally thought that growing some was the
right way to go. Needless to say I'm finding that the nuisance to
benefit ratio is quite low.
What do I mean by that? Well the tomato plants are growing at a rate
that reminds me of an alien invasion, one with world wide domination as
its goal :-P. Trying to keep the tomato plants under control is quite a
mission and the size and amount of fruit just doesn't warrant the
gigantic plant. On the converse side my tiny little bush beans are
small and relatively neat but produce a stack of beans at an surprising
rate.
In our Christian lives what benefits out weigh the effort required to do
them? The small effort of a simple prayer can bring our hearts and
minds closer to God and the huge reward is having His presence touch us
when we need it most. The effort of ministering to a friend in need is
rewarded with the blessings of God that follow a kind act.
What gigantic tomato plants do you have in your life that require
removal to make space for more productive bush beans? I'm sure if you
search you'll find them. Ask God to help you put the priorities on
these straight and receive the blessings that your efforts will bring.
