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.
