We had the most
pleasant surprise this morning!
 |
Azjah, daughter of our
receptionist Felicia, came to our office to do some volunteer weeding. Just
when we needed help the most, an angel appeared.
We went out to the
garden to look at our most challenging area – the potato row. This is one of the last severely weed choked
areas. Daunting to look at, let alone
dig into!
But, you can’t let that
great big smile, those sparking eyes, and the polished grace of Azjah fool you - she is tough on weeds!
While weaving through the squash vines
that were woven and twisted between the weeds and spilling into the potatoes,
she was able to clear a good patch that allowed our potatoes to finally start
breathing. And the potatoes said… “Ahhhh – that’s better!”
Feeling gratitude and
not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. So, Thank you, thank you, thank you Azjah for
your victory over a portion of the potato weeds and 'giving' to this giving
garden!
You are a Phenomenal Woman!
… and speaking of Phenomenal Woman, In the words of one of
my favorite authors and humanitarians who wrote a book of the same title, "Phenomenal Woman", I will share a quote of hers about volunteering:
“I've learned that you
shouldn't go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need
to be able to throw something back.” ~Maya Angelou
