I have been so inspired by the people of Italy, especially those along the coast. They don’t have any flat land, so they create it. Cutting right into their hillside, using every square inch. Nothing waisted!
Seeking maximum potential:
From tiny efficiency apartments, to sheer hillside gardens, much creative thought is put into use of space. And nearly household cultivated something. I was surprised to see on a few feet of dirt: grape vines or lemons, grapefruits, eggplants, tomatoes growing. The wine from these small patches was wonderful. So much pride and generosity!
It isn’t what they were able to pack into the tiny houses or yards – as much as they found a way to do it. No matter how seemly improbable. It made me want to be more industrious and more creative with what God has given me: my time, words, faith, love.
God has been so very gracious to me. He has given His Good News of salvation. I want to share what I have with others. I want to invest in them like He’s so patiently invested in me. I’m heading home soon feeling inspired to cultivate my own little field of opportunities. ❤️
“‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!” Matthew 25:21
