The True Joy of the Christmas

As we bustle about this time of year making merry, decking the halls, braving the stores to find that special gift and baking those treats, I hope you take a moment to pause and reflect upon the reason for this season. A very ordinary night, of ordinary people surrounded by ordinary surroundings turned extraordinary. This child’s arrival has been celebrated for thousands of years since that night. His life continues to guide many of us daily..

Each day in very ordinary ways we have opportunities to meet and impact children in our own little corner of life. It is in the eyes of children I am reminded of the Christmas Story. This year I had the honor of sharing the ordinary act of gardening with children. It has shed light on the small wonders children bring to our life, delivering the joy of the Christmas spirit.throughout my year. This simple, ordinary act: no high technology, no animated screens, no bells and whistles……just ordinary, dirt and the seasons of garden life. Ordinary today, ordinary two thousand years ago, can become extra-ordinary. Pay it forward in 2015 and share the gift of green with a child and perhaps they may lead others in years to come.

Garden Goddess Sense and Sustainability along with Jake my Garden Supervisor wish you a Merry Christmas. Be back with gardening joy in 2015
