1st tomato from backyard

I like this photo a lot that the tomato has a warm shadow on the black background setting. And believe it or not, this is not the original position that I set it, it kind of move or turn a bit right before I click the photo shutter button. In other thought, this could be a perfect painting object.

To most of you, this particular tomato probably won’t win any ooh or aah from you.

It is a tiny tomato but to me it is the prettiest and cutest and most adorable one.

When I planted, actually, I was planting bell peppers purposely. Then what in the world it becomes tomato plants.

There was one almost rotten tomato, so I said to myself, I’ll just bury it as the fertilizer for the bell pepper.

At the beginning when first seed germination, till the first fruit grew into a good round size one, I thought I was a bell pepper.

And then I realized, that are the tomato plants that growing and harvesting instead.

After the sprouting, I water them 2 times a day, one in the early morning and one in the late afternoon before dark.

There was one day, we went home late, it was dark, and so, I skip the second watering of the day, and thought that should be OK, just one time.

Next morning and I ran to water them as usual and specially checked on this first tomato, it was all wrinkled. I was shock and feeling rather sad, quickly done the routine watering. Go to work, thought, it should be fine when I came back from work.

After work, I went to water and checked on this tomato again, it was wrinkled.

The second morning, it was wrinkled still. I prayed one more time for this wrinkled tomato typically, I even brought my iPad and sang along one worship song to it, come close (近前來). Then off to work.

After work, it went back to check on it, it regained. Thanks God, says me.

After this incident, following by weeks of waiting, kind of impatiently, this is what I got yesterday.

Took its picture, posted it onto my Facebook page this morning.

Matthew 6:25-34

²⁵ “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? ²⁷ Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? ²⁸ “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; ²⁹ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹ “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
