Community in Tomatoes

Dear Sweet Boy,
You are so loved by so many.

This Sunday morning Josh preached about growth. Primarily about how our growth in the knowledge and love of Jesus is so important. It was a beautiful summer sermon. He illustrated this by telling the congregation about our scraggly tomato plants. They've been too cold, too hot, too watered, and currently too dry. Incidentally, they have also been hit by a car. Yet, we are trying to nurture them in hopes that they might still bear fruit.

When we came home to the rectory we found this:

Someone from our parish placed tomatoes and a pineapple at the base of our struggling plants.

It is incredible the love that a church community offers one another. We are blessed bees. That is for certain. I am so grateful that Neil has joined our church family. He has so much joy ahead.
