It is a very good thing that God isn’t like me. My interest in raising these tomatoes lasted longer than in my usual horticultural efforts, but it still waned. After a couple of months I was forgetful and busier in other directions and sure as you like, I forgot to keep watering, checking, restaking. Thankfully Rod noticed my usual gardening habits had kicked in and he picked up on the watering so they didn’t die but their yield won’t be as big as if I’d maintained more thorough care in the early weeks.
This will be the single biggest picking. I’m very glad to have done this little meditative experiment and from this observation the lessons I see are that…
• God doesn’t forget.
• He doesn’t get bored.
• He doesn’t get too busy.
• His attention doesn’t wander.
• He doesn’t get too tired to be bothered.
• He often sends messengers to be His hands and feet.
• He doesn’t get more interested in other directions.
• He completes all He begins.
