Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. James 5:7-8
I don’t know about you but my green beans come in a can. I’ve never planted a garden and even my air plants died. But my house is sitting on what used to be my grandfather’s garden. He grew corn and green beans and tomatoes. My grandmother canned the food grown in the spring and served it during the winter.
Plowing, sowing, harvesting, and canning, they did a lot of hard work in a short amount of time, but they fed their family for a whole year from their combined efforts.
