We are starting a garden!!! Our first experience with a garden...Riley and Adam started hoeing the ground to get it loose for planting. Riley was excited at first, but soon retreated to a nearby chair when he realized what hard work it was. 
Emma Reese and I contributed by sitting in the sun and cheering Adam on. Well, I cheered and Emma Reese slept.
I can't help but draw comparisons to our church plant. At first, it's new and exciting and everyone wants to do their share. Some jump right in and get dirty while others help in other ways (encouraging and prayer). But when we discover that it requires endurance and self-sacrifice, we are tempted to sit aside and let others finish the work. If we're going to reap an abundant harvest, we must be willing to labor. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few.
