Psalm 129 talks about sowing and reaping. THAT is good old fashioned farm talk. The Lord told Adam and Eve to tend the garden and put in place a “farm effect.” Getting your hands in the dirt does many things for health and well-being. It boosts immunity. It reduces depression, anxiety, and OCD. It lowers our blood pressure and stress hormones. The point is, we ALL need some dirt under our fingernails. And as a bonus, we end up with a basket of vegetables to share with our friends and neighbors. What an incredible food system the Lord has put in place for our benefit.
