July 23rd
It’s “The Garden” Day
LORD, GIVE US THE WISDOM AND COURAGE TO USE THE GIFTS THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE. AMEN
Here’s a great story I found on a Hallmark card that was given to me years ago. It is entitled “The Garden.”
There once was a woman who longed to have a flower garden. Each year she would visit her neighbor, who had the most beautiful garden she had ever seen, and he would give her cuttings and seeds for her own garden.
But when she would return home she would change her mind at the last-minute saying, “But my neighbor’s garden is so much lovelier than anything I could hope to grow. And he knows so much more about gardening. I could never hope to grow a garden half so lovely as that. Why should I even try?”
One day her neighbor stopped by her home and saw that she had not one flower growing anywhere around her house.
“I’ve provided you with so much,” he said, “and yet you have done nothing at all with what I have given you!”
And so it is with each of us. The Lord gives us talents and expects us to develop them. We cannot judge our worth by comparing ourselves to others, but must bloom and grow the best we can with what we have been given. My prayer today is that each of you reading todays’ message may realize that each new day dawns for you another opportunity to use the gifts that God has given you to be the best that you can be.
