I was watering my vegetable garden this morning and I was thinking about everything that went into making this garden what it is. Initially, I had the dream of having a garden. But first, I had to find a place where it would receive sunlight. I had to dig up the dirt, break it up and also put in some new rich dirt. I had to buy the vegetable plants, plant them, stake some of them up and water and feed them on a regular basis.

I have a “Shake ‘n Feed” all purpose plant food that provides continuous release of nutrients. I also have to pull out the weeds regularly. From this garden will come lots of great tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce and strawberries. I am so excited. I can’t wait to be able to go out and pick fresh vegetables from my garden! I will really enjoy these “fruits of my labor.”

What dream do you have?

Is there anything that you will need to dig up and break up first?

What will it need to grow?

Are you willing to feed it, water it and pull out the weeds?

What else will your dream need to live?

What will come out of your dream that you will enjoy?

A dream is a lot like a garden.

You need to plan the dream, feed it, water it, nurture it and then you get to enjoy it!! Sometimes, you will also have to pull out some weeds along the way.
