As the kids and I were weeding the strawberry plants we talked about why it's important to get the weeds out of the garden. Then God gave me a teachable moment, and even in the summer! Lol.
We started talking about what kinds of "weeds" we need to pull out of our lives. They came up with several types of "weeds": unforgiveness, pride, jealousy, hurtful words, hitting, etc.
They made the connection that if we don't take care of these "weeds" they can, like in the garden, grow big and take over the good "fruit".
I LOVE how God teaches us so many lessons from nature. I love that some of the most important learning takes place not at a desk or in a classroom, but just as we go about our day together.
