I have received so many amazing gifts. For example, my family, which includes my son Kevin, who took these pictures.
The pictures are of other gifts I have received as a gardener, like this rose of sharon that God gave me.
And this crab apple tree that God gave me.
And this millions bells that God gave me.
He even gave to my yard the butterfly and bee that Kevin caught on camera. They pollinate the flowers and continue the cycle of life according to His plan. As a gardener, I see the beauty, the intricacy, the interdependency, and I have to believe there is a God.
This week, gardeners and non-gardeners alike can celebrate the gift that God gave us in Jesus Christ. He is what the Christmas season is all about. And I am so thankful.
Celebrate at your local church. Or celebrate at mine, Willow Creek. We’ll welcome you, and so will He.
