Dear God:Today, I am thankful for a final harvest.
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
I give up.
I'm now positive that my tomatoes won't ever ripen on the vine. They won't go to waste, however. The bowlful of chopped green tomatoes will be a perfect ingredient for the tortilla soup I started an hour ago.
The tomato vines, tired and withered, droop in their pots. I'll add them to the compost pile later this week.
The soup - well, it's very spicy, flavorful and delicious served over brown rice.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
