For the Beauty of the Earth

The photos in this post were taken by my daughter, Erin.
They were taken last year from our own yard.
I think she is a very gifted photographer.
Who knows what the Lord has in store for her in that area?
Enjoy the photos!








We fill them with soil. In each we plant a seed. Each day we spend time watering them. They sit on our dining room table next to a window so they can get some sun. They are the heirloom seeds that we purchased from http://www.rareseeds.com/ several weeks ago that we planted in starter containers. We have planted tomatoes- cherry and slicing, sugar snap peas, collards, and peppers- bell and pepperoncini. The collards and the sugar snap peas have already sprouted and showing signs of actually making it. Will the others?








It's quite amazing to me how these tiny seeds become the foods that we enjoy. Well, the kids will not enjoy the collard greens but the rest of the family will. Through this creation, we have life. Seeds that grow into foods that we eat, trees that we sit under for shade, or flowers that bring butterflies or birds. All of these are the great work of our God.







Scientist like to explain how these things happen. I, on the other hand, just knows it's because God ordained it to happen. I don't have that yearning to learn "why" like some folks. I probably should, and will re-learn some of what I should already know as I teach my children. But, sometimes, I am satisfied with the fact that it just IS!



The beauty of the earth is the Lord's! It is ours to enjoy!
