This random pumpkin showed up in our yard and taught me about compensating blessings and how sowing and reaping can come in unexpected ways.
I don’t recall ever tossing any pumpkin out in our front yard. It isn’t a composting area, and we’ve never even planted pumpkin that I know of. Perhaps Dave dropped a random seed from our box of seeds. Who knows.
In life, sometimes we harvest where we never sowed. Sometimes God’s blessings are pleasant surprises. There were so many things we planted this year that didn’t grow or were eaten by rabbits or squash bugs. And then this beauty showed up when and where we least expected it. It’s one of God’s compensating blessings.
I love the life lessons we learn from nature!
