Okay, so my gardening experiences may not be vast, but I have been thinking a lot about my analogy of children as plants. I have decided that there is a lot missing in such a horticulture comparison. Namely, no plants that we own have a). a purpose greater than just physical growth and beauty; b). an eternal purpose; c). a will of it's own.
I have never spent a moment on my knees for my plants, but my children often send me to my knees in confusion, joy and sorrow. I am so thankful for the interaction and growth that our family gets to experience and I'm glad that "scissors" aren't our only way of relating!
