Working in the Garden

On the last day of working on God's Farm, we worked in the garden. We tilled the land by hand, then we spent the rest of the day picking out weeds. It was a lot of hard, but we all learned so much from that experiance. We worked along side the gardener, Rusten, and he taught us so much. One if the biggest things that we all took from the day is what one of my team mates said after Rusten left. He left and they said, "I bet that is what Jesus looked like." In a way he did look like him, with the long hair and the tan skin. But we got to talking about how we should see everyone as if they were Jesus. For we all learned that we are eached in made God's image from the book of Genisis. We then hear Jesus talking about what ever we do for the least of these, we do for Jesus. We are all made to reflect Jesus, so we were thinking about what would happen if we loved people as if they were Jesus. They way we look at people, and they way we interact with them will change. The cool thing about this is that you don't need to travel 17 hours in a van to do this. All you have to do is to step out of your door, for there is a plethera of people that you interact with everyday that God made in his own image.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for making each one of us in your image. Help me Lord to treat these people as if they are you, and to just love on them Lord, like how you love me. Amen.
