On July 17, this was my entire bean harvest.
First, I was excited. Then I admired the tender, filet
shape. Then, of course, I laughed. Can one
bean even be called a “harvest”? Is it worth the effort to cook just one bean? Would
my husband and I split it? Haha. Then I felt a bit deflated. I could see
very few baby beans hanging on the vines. So this would be it for a while.
Just 17 days later, on August 4, this was only part of my
bean harvest.
So this is my encouragement not to be discouraged by small
or slow starts, in gardening and in life.
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD
rejoices to see the work begin …” Zechariah 4:10
