It’s become a sort of tradition
The Good News Easter Egg Hunt.
Happening on the Saturday between
Good Friday
And Easter Sunday.
John and I are the official host
But it’s actually put together by the Nurture Committee at our church.
Nurture.
I really like that word.
It is defined as
“To care for and encourage the growth or development of someone or something.”
And that is what we do
As a church
As a committee
And as individuals.
Encourage one another.
What better place to nurture someone
Than in a garden
.
A happy garden is one that is not necessarily
Well tended.
But well nurtured.
The difference to me is that a well nurtured garden
Is done so willingly – lovingly.
Often people walk into my garden
And remark how much work it must be.
The truth is it is not work at all
To me
It’s the place I go
To think
To sing
To ponder.
I love sharing it
With the children
And families who come every year.
There are many ways to nurture a child.
Inviting them into your garden
To romp and play
To explore and discover
To create
Is, to me, the very definition of nurturing.

Thank you Laura. It’s fun that two of the things I enjoy – gardening and writing – go together so well.
Hope you’re not floating away over there. Lots of rain here.
