Very good to see how our Heavenly Father is helping you work through this big event in your life, @gratefuleveryday.

"It was absorbing the precious nutrients from the garden (my time), and it was healthy looking ..."

Yes. No question. Is there anything more valuable than our time? It is the one aspect of our life, in this world, that is unchanging / immovable / unshakable. It relentlessly advances in only one direction and nothing can get it back. For all of our vast differences amongst us across this big, wide world, it is the one great equalizer. We all have exactly the same 24 / 7 / 365.

The only question? What are we doing with it?

Looking forward to future reports on how you are being led to answer it!
