Faith Gardening

"It's about faith. You don't fix faith, River. It fixes you." Book, (Firefly)

"Why aren't there faith gardeners?"

Well., heck! Sometimes there are...

Once, walking to Kindergarten, Davy found a dandelion cloud and instead of blowing it, gave it to his 3 year old brother, Danny. He turned and looked all around the unkempt yard for one for himself, but there weren't any.
That afternoon, 5 hours later, we were walking past the same yard, and there they were dozens of dandelion clouds. I don't know do they grow in 5 hours?
Well, it doesn't matter it was Faith fixing me, like Book said.
I wasn't asking for it or even expecting it or imagining such a thing. But there they were; a yard full of dandelions for my sweet 5 year old son to blow and share with his brother.
A smart woman once said, " Just because a dog can't understand algebra doesn't mean it ain't so."
I like that kind of faith. Faith that goes beyond what my little mind can conjure up. Faith that says, "It's Alright," even when facing surgery or when God decides to do some weed growing anti-gardening. I want that kind of faith that fixes me, that is beyond the obvious purposes and goals. Faith that stretches to vision. Vision given by the Giver of All Things, who is capable and willing to bring All Things into knowledge and Oneness with Him. Oh Lord, give me your vision, your Faith, your "It's Alright!"

Col. 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
