Even weeds
can be redeemed
Last, but by no means least, our glut of weeds provided a lot of compostable material. Those weeds, combined with the coffee grounds
and yard waste, gave us 6 or 8 yards of good compost.
Those were all things society had no
use for. In a word, they were garbage. But God’s perfect wisdom, working
through far from perfect gardeners, turned them into a rich resource that will
help feed many, many, folks.
We
shouldn’t be surprised by that—God has a long history of changing what no one
else values into great blessings. Think about the Hebrews; God turned a small,
and very dysfunctional, family into a people that gave us our Savior and key
values of Western Civilization. Deuteronomy 7:6-8. Think about Joseph and David. They were the least thought of members of
their families, but God used both powerfully to bless thousands in their times
and billions over the years. He still
does that every time he turns one of us sinners into a saint. 1 Corinthians 1:28 puts
it well, God chooses the “lowly things of this world and the
despised things” to deliver His love.
