A few years ago my daughter told me she wanted to make her own raised garden bed for veggies. So, we spent a weekend and built one for her. We planted kale, peppers, and some herbs. But I made sure she knew keeping the garden healthy was her task. She needed to water it daily. Pull out weeds and leaves and make sure that critters weren’t stealing our food.

She was excited about it for the first two weeks until she decided it was too much work and then it became my job. LOL.

Gardens are a lot like our relationships. We can’t take them for granted- never reach out, and expect them to still be there and be healthy. Relationships take time and intentionality to flourish.

So, if there’s someone in your life you’ve been neglecting, take this as your reminder to reach out and give them the attention they deserve.
