Finding your Faith, the newest book in the Chicken Soup for Your Soul series, includes a story by Oklahoma author and long-time gardener, Linda Allen.
Allen's story, "Love Notes in the Garden," shares how her time in the garden helped her faith grow along with her plants. Allen credits her love of gardening to her great-grandfather, a Cherokee Strip pioneer, and her grandmother, a life-long Oklahoman. Other stories in the book tell how faith is an individual discovery, showing up in a miracle or an everyday event, like a sledgehammer or whisper in your ear.
Excerpt
As I grew up and got busy raising a family and creating a career, I didn't pay much attention to my faith. I didn't spend much time or effort in growing and nurturing it, so it stayed the size of a mustard seed. I took it for granted.
One day, while on my knees in the garden (gardening will keep you humble), I experienced a "wow moment"!
