Proverbs 8:17
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me."
God promises to never leave us (Hebrews 13:5 says “…for he hath said, I will never leave nor forsake you.”) Despite our acceptance of this truth, we are often challenged in our daily walks during times of discouragement and hardship. We often cry out to God, “Where are you God?” I desperately need to see you in the midst of my troubles!” The foundation of our faith shouldn’t be our circumstances but rather the one pure and simple truth that Jesus loves us and died for our sins. If we base our faith on our circumstances (circumstantial faith) we will stumble and fall. Just like the bear who played the game of hide and go seek with the moon, we often fail to acknowledge the presence of God at times when we can’t see Him. The bear didn’t see the moon because it was hidden by the clouds. We should always remember that behind those clouds in our life is always a blue sky. In John 14:21 it again reminds us that God will reveal Himself to us. (“Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones, who love me…And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”)
Thought: God is never lost from us even when clouds of discouragement come.

I BELIEVE IN CHILDREN
....There is faith in their eyes,
Love in their touch
And hope in their attitude.
....I thrill with them at life's joy's
Run with them through tall grasses
And bow with them in worship.
....They are the fragile dream of yesterday,
Life's radiant reality of today
And the vibrant vision of tomorrow.

"For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us...." (Ephesians 2:10)
Our Mission Statement
We believe that it is never too early to introduce a child to God's amazing love through a hands-on experience of growing and tending a garden. A strong foundation of faith can be built upon this very early exposure to garden experiences as related to scripture and Biblical teachings of obedience, patience, hard work, dependence on God, tolerance of others, humility, kindness, generosity, prayer, and praise.
