Prodigal: Doing some gardening.

Me: Maybe you will like this.

Garden for God: Squash your worries.

This is from the book Absolute Surrender by Andrew Murray

Brethren, here is the path to the higher life. Down, lower down! This was what Jesus ever said to the disciples who were thinking of being great in the kingdom, and of sitting on His right hand and His left. Seek not, ask not for exaltation; that is God’s work. Look to it that you abase and humble yourselves, and take no place before God or man but that of servant; that is your work; let that be your one purpose and prayer. God is faithful. Just as water ever seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds the creature abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless. He that humbleth himself–that must be our one care–shall be exalted; that is God’s care; by His mighty power and in His great love He will do it.

And there was great joy in that city. Acts 8:8 (KJV)
