(I'm not a very good gardener!)<br /><br />One observation I made was that the berries usually bloom in a cluster, kind of. And one of the berries is always ripe before the rest-- kind of like it's 'testing the waters' to make sure the rest of its buddies can bloom-- and in my experience, it is DELICIOUS. And I can't help but think about how God asks us for our "first fruits" every time I pick one. Clearly, the farmers of that day and time had a great understanding of what that phrase meant. I've taken pictures of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries all exhibiting the cluster thing I described (where only ONE of the berries is ready to be picked) just never got around to posting them.<br /><br />Now I feel all motivated to get my thoughts onto my blog!! <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder, and the great lessons to be learned from God's creation.Bill and Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910061658479603176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-34177407681659009622010-03-27T23:18:48.217-06:002010-03-27T23:18:48.217-06:00this is so true. i so quickly can spiral downward...this is so true. i so quickly can spiral downward if i try to cut corners and not invest the time that i need with the Lord. might seen inefficiant, but to God we must seem THE MOST inefficiant creatures He ever made! giving Him our time seems the least we can do.<br /><br />ps love that picture....niceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497663893256700064noreply@blogger.com
