Urban Homesteading

This year has brought us quite the harvest. We've started getting Guavas, Star Fruit, Cactus fruit, and Passion Fruit. The new girls have started getting their hands dirty in caring for the plants. We've started a new seeding table and fixed the irrigation system. The chickens are laying beautifully.

Best of all, however, was a small Bible Study and garden tour we had in December. We studied John 15:5-8:

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."

The final words of the 10-year old girl who participated in the Bible Study:  "The kingdom of God looks like family and friends getting together."
