It is the human nature in us that even in a moment of Glory we sometimes wonder: What if? What if I was something else. What if I was a talented painter or businessman? We catch ourselves daydreaming about how we could better serve the Lord if we had been given other “gifts”. As gardeners, we do not find plants trying to be what they are not. The orchid relishes being an orchid, the rose is oblivious to any other blossoms. They each have a duty and a function to perform so that as we gaze upon our gardening efforts, we are greeted by God’s creation in all its splendour. If only gardeners could learn from the garden and concentrate just on our gift, imagine the sight that would greet the Master Gardener as He strolls the paths amongst us.
