By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them


We live in a community of humble, good people. People who love us despite our faults and give to us just because they are good. Everyone knows that summer's end is the harvest. Nate and I, unfortunately, have never had a harvest. But we reap the benefits of many others hard work. We have had numerous neighbors give to us from their gardens this year. Every time I thank them heartily because, really, you can't beat garden tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, green peppers, and on and on. Just today I was given a bag full of ripe beautiful vegetables. I have eaten a quarter of the tomatoes by myself in the last hour. This blog is just to say thank you to him who giveth. . . and I hope to remind me someday. . .when I have a beautiful garden. . . because I will one day. . . oh yes. . I will. . . that I need to give back to someone else. That's what makes people neighbors and neighbors friends.
