Well the weekend was uneventful, that
is except for the bi-annual mint culling taking place. Mint culling?
Yip, I pull out every tiny piece of mint out of the clivia bed that
I can see........and there in lies the secret. Why do I take out
every piece that I can see? Because the real mint roots are much
deeper in the ground and the surface stalks and leaves are just the
surface pieces.
Mint survives and thrives but making
use of two propagating methods. It spreads roots under ground and
the stalks and leaves on top can also become roots if that stalk hits
the ground and the plant senses that by putting roots down it will
obtain a ground holding position.
That should be a lesson to us in our
faith.....we should have deep roots under ground and we should be
able to make roots on the surface where they are required to cement
our position and help us gain ground.
That speaks to me about having tenacity
and courage to stand your ground. Sometimes you can face impossible
odds but if you are rooted and grounded in your faith, you will not
be moved by the circumstances.
