So it is harvest time. Was there any corn on the cob??? Did I do a good enough job??? I say I did! I can till, fertilize, plant, hoe, water and hope... and I did all this...
Well I lost about 1/3, of what remained upright and green only 1/3 grew cobs and of the cobs only 1/3 had any kernels of worth on them!
SO ~ I did the very best I could! I watered and watched. I ate! And now the stalks will go through the chipper shredder to provide mulch for next season!
Is my life still like that corn patch? In many ways yes! I see only a fraction of harvest from what I cultivate. What seems fruitless I can turn into composted hope ... and in turn it may provide much nutrition for the next season of growth!!!! There are still only so many things I can do... the rest is up to the will of Creator. I plant, but He instills the nature of the seed.
A seemingly lost crop can provide the sustainance needed for next years growing. So I will rest and wait for what is to come.
Corn... it has taught me to have faith, hope... and to wait in a deepening patience!

Good morning my corn-growing cat. I was hardly born with a green thumb, and find it amazing that everyone I meet these days seems to be growing something to eat and nourish. And your corn story does indeed carry a kernal of truth and joy (i couldn't resist)...life happens. Birth and death...all a part of this life we live. There are a few disappointments, and lots of joy, but in the end, we all eat corn.
love you,
