A Big Pile of Dirt

I’ve written before about the big pile of mulch we got and how we just handled it one shovel at a time.  Well last week we got a big pile of dirt, topsoil, really.

By this time, we just said, “We need help”.

Sometimes, life dumps a big pile of dirt in your front yard and it is way too much to handle alone.

That’s when you need family and friends.

Soap and water.

Two or three shovels.  Two or three wheelbarrows.

Where two or three are gathered together, there I am in the midst, said Jesus.

We all need a village to raise us.  A village and a mighty God.

And when the big pile of dirt is finally taken care of, a nice hot bath and a good night’s sleep.

And may I say, no more big piles of anything else this year!

Now it’s time to put that dirt and mulch to work to create a good foundation for growing healthy plants.

Dirt and mulch and compost.

Compost, that’s a story for another day.
