Family is like a Tomato Vine

I been sitting and thinking for the last couple days. I am so blessed to have Jesus in my life. Also with the family that he has given me. I been here at Gina's now since last Thursday. I think things are going pretty well. We have not killed each other yet. Lol. I have always sat and watched my girls. I find it very interesting. You raise them all with same values and teach all the same things. But each one has taken a little of what you taught them added to it. And it makes a great family gathering. Like a good recipe, you get a recipe and you add to it or take away to make it your own. That is how it is with each family. But most of all that keep JESUS at the top. And things work great. Oh there will be some kookaburra's but take them off and go on. I thinking about family today. It is like a tomato vine. You put the seed in the ground, then it takes a couple months or so. Then comes the little blooms then comes tomatoes. Some are big, some are medium, and some are small. But they are still tomatoes. They have to be weeded out and watered. Just like the family it has to be weeded out, and watered with prayer and the word of God. I remember when my husband was alive. He loved when it was time to put the garden in. We would get the ground ready, then take our time put the seed in. And then we would pray for God's blessings on the vegetables. And he would take his lawn chair out to the garden and sit and watch for the vegetables to come up. I would say a watch pot never boils.
Well God bless and have a great week.
