The Garden Calendar
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 8:22 KJV
This is an original fictional illustration, not a historical report or an added Bible event.
Emma wanted tomatoes the day she planted the seeds. Her grandad showed her the garden calendar and explained that growing took time.
They watered, watched, and waited. Some days nothing looked different. Later, small plants appeared. Emma learned that there was work for each part of the season.
After the flood, God promised the earth's continuing seasons. We can thank Him for the dependable order of His world. Every garden does not grow perfectly, but seedtime and harvest remind us that life includes patient work.
Enjoy today's small task. A seed does not need you to hurry it; it needs proper care.
For the grown-up reading along
After the flood, God promises the continuing rhythms of the earth while it remains. The statement concerns His preserving order, not a guarantee that every farm or family will avoid hardship.
