Sunday night, after church, Tanner and I went to look at the garden we had planted several weeks back. It was obvious that I had not weeded it in a while but Tanner had been faithful in watering everyday. With the wrong attitude, I began to pull up some of the larger weeds that were there when all of the sudden, I saw a glimpse of red. "What could that be" I wondered.
As I looked closer it was obvious. Radishes. Even though I hadn't been diligent in tending our garden, God would not be mocked, we reaped exactly what we had sown. As I called Tanner over to see, he became almost giddy with excitement. We pulled a good dozen or so radishes and he was all excited to go show mom what we had grown.
As we were picking them, I tried to remind Tanner of how in the Old Testament the Jews would sacrifice the first fruits of their harvest to God as Thanks for what was still to come. His reaction was probably not too much different then most of ours would have been, he wanted to keep them for himself. I didn't spoil the moment by pushing the lesson any farther but it did remind me of how thankful I am to be under God's grace and not the Law.
Thank you Jesus!!
