Two days ago, my husband Paul made the comment, "Shouldn't our asparagus be coming up by now?"
Curiosity got the best of me and the next morning, I ventured out to our garden to look for asparagus. I'd just cut the old, dead winter stalks down the week before and was a bit discouraged as it appeared that maybe our crop had died out. Imagine my excitement when I found three heads of asparagus poking up through the wood chips!
I love God's designs in nature....things "die" in the winter time, and He resurrects them in the spring to feed His children in the summer and fall. And as we learn to steward the harvest during the fall, we can be well-fed through the winter and spring months.
If I didn't have to have a paying job, I could very easily live on a small farm and garden, have animals, and of course a retreat house and ministry center where people could come to be healed, refreshed, restored, equipped and sent out again.
