About People Gardening

This sounds like an unusual term but think of it as something akin to relationships and more. There are all sorts of people in our lives each and every day. Each opportunity for contact is like gardening. Where we tend to their needs, provide them with water, nutrition, etc. We use our gifts and abilities to tend to people in our lives. In turn, they may do the same for us.

One important thing to remember, tending to yourself. For you are the one in control of your heart. It is your job to protect it yet at the same time allow it to love fully. Anything less is doing a disservice to your heart's capabilities. It would be wise to not short-sell love for it is an investment that can come back 100-fold.

This blog then is about exploring the people in our lives including ourselves in a loving way.

I'm not superwoman or supermom.  Far be it but I do know this, something I learned a while back - the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask.  Sometimes you just have to humble yourself and ask for help.  It isn't easy to do and I realize this but I also found this to be true as well - nothing worth anything can ever come to life if it comes too easy.  Why? Because we are supposed to appreciate what we are given.  The first place to start when asking for help in ANYTHING (notice that there are no exceptions here) - start with God.  He knows what is on your heart but if you don't take the time to share with him what you need then "You" are still in control and He isn't. He can't give you something you don't ask for.  All we have to do is ask Him.  That my friends isn't hard to do. The hard thing is releasing our pride to ask.  Still need to hold onto being shy?  Think again...you just might be surprised by the results.  Give to Him and He gives back - can't beat a better deal!
