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 think it is important to remember who is in control, who provides security in our lives. Really, we are in control of nothing of significance and everything significant is a gift or blessing of some sort - it is grace at work. The more we realize that we are not to live of ourselves but for Him the sooner we will figure out that is better to live in the world than to be of the world in a false sense of living (security).
