Dig through the rocks

 




I am working hard! It may not look like it, but I was. Yesterday, I planted 2 cucumber plants to "test" the dirt at the new homestead. Yes only 2. I am not using them for pickles, or maybe I will. Dad is still manning the cuc garden at his house this year, but hopefully, next year, I will have the garden going. But I need to see if the spot I picked, will be good for growing those future pickles.

As I was digging, It started to become harder to dig the hole. I kept hitting rocks! The more I dug, the harder it was. And the sun was so HOT, which didn't help. I literally had to stop and take a break, or I was going to pass out! Man I am getting old. But I got them planted and fingers crossed, they will grow!

When I got done, I started to think about hard it was to plant them. Sometimes life is like that. We have rocks in our life that we have to dig through. But when we make it through that, we will have some beautiful fruit to show. 

Don't stop, keep going, digging through those rocks. You will find some soil to grow in.

Psalm 18:2; The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Love to all,
