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.

How does one show love - by doing. Doing/Showing is active not a passive feeling or action. Loving means doing because you can't show love by keeping it in your head or keeping it in your heart. If love isn't shared then it isn't love, it's just a thought needing to be acted upon. Bad thing about that thought of love is that if it stays a thought then it means you never gave love which also means that you never receive love either. If we do not "do" love with people then what is it that we are doing with God?
