Ezekiel 47:12
"Fruit trees of all kinds will
grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor
will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water
from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and
their leaves for healing."
(3rd and 4th graders from Sunday school)
We sat in Sunday school with our eyes
closed trying to imagine this spot. Eating the fruit would be
wonderful. Who would be there with us? Jesus and others would be all
around us. In the garden, there are all kinds of leaves for healing
and fruit for eating. Eating fruit! Sort of like "cookie day",
the second Sunday of the month, when the congregation gathers for
fellowship after the sermon.
We need plants, like the ones in this
verse, for our bodies. Oxygen in the air comes from plants. You can't
have a garden without plants.
You can't have a Sunday school class
without a Bible. The Bible is like the plants; it gives our heart,
mind and soul what it needs. The bible teaches everything about God.
It teaches about when Jesus was born, his life and his death on the
cross.
Dear God, thank you for this
wonderful day, thank you for gardens and plants, thank you for
bringing us together to share with each other. In Jesus name, AMEN.
