Both Jenn and I have been working at a local greenhouse. At the beginning, I started by planting literally thousands of baby impatians, then I moved on to spacing plants and trimming them, and now I mostly keep the store stocked. Jenn also spaces plants, helps to stock the store on busy days, and deadheads plants.
The LORD has been so good to us in that we never have to miss our normal church services. From the beginning, I had made up my mind that if I had to work Sundays, then I wouldn' t take the job. However the bosses have been respectful of our personal convictions and are also great about when I need to take time off to drive Dad to Toronto.
All in all, I love working at Ditsch's Greenhouses. I realize that the LORD has given Jenn and I another place to shine for Him. Even though we don't feel like we get a chance to witness to many people, most everyone knows where we live, so our lives reflect back on the Scripture signs on our shed. Also, just the other day, I got a chance to tell a fellow worker that I would be praying for her and she responded positively. We usually like to see big results, but I have to keep reminding myself that maybe I'm just the person who sows or waters a seed in someones life. "It is God that gives the increase." Thank You, LORD.
