A Momma's Love

Last year we started a dream at work.  To plant a garden and teach the kids about healthy food and where it comes from.  It was a intense but fun project.  We learned a lot. One of the things we learned was that we needed more room.  So this year we pretty much tripled our school garden if not more.  We divided it into two categories: edibles for humans and butterfly friendly.  Today was planting day.  My class was in charge of tomatos, green peppers, cucumbers, strawberries and watermelon.  Each class has their own section to plant.  We will all take turns watering and helping with taking care of the garden.  The kids were thrilled to help.  Anything to play in the dirt!  I am thankful for their help, but man did they just want to dig.  Now to keep them out of the dirt so they don't dig up the plants.  I think once they see plants growing the fascination may wane a little bit.  I know they will love to help with the harvest. 

Well, it's Monday again.  What did your weekend bring?  Good choices or not so good choices?  I tried to make good choices.  I followed my workout schedule.  I didn't drink alcohol.  I had limited soda and lots of water.  I even tried making a new recipe!  However, some choices were not so good....I finished off the bag of m&ms by myself even though it said shareable size.  I also ate a few more pieces of cake than I should have.  Am I gonna look back and say it was a bad weekend?  No!  I am going to choose to look at the positives.  I got to enjoy time with my grandson and my family.  I enjoyed a time of worship and a powerful message on spiritual warfare.  I visited with my 94 year old grandmother.  I worked in the garden.  God watered myflowers, trees and veggie plants. Today's verse is from Proverbs 17:22..." A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." How is your heart today?  Joyful and positive?   Take joy in your wor
