Jami Nato: 4 Things the Garden Is Teaching Me Now

"God isn’t interested in our productivity, but in our wellbeing. I found myself having compassion for the peonies and their big move, not bitterness that they didn’t make enough flowers for me. I pruned and fed them, and let them just be. It made me wonder how attentive God is to us, how He isn’t interested in our productivity, but in our wellbeing. How He stands in the hot sun, with the sheers and the nutrients, and compassionately understands why we just can’t be so useful and bloomy all the time. If I am like this over flowers, what is God like over me?"
