Co-Creation

At a recent wedding I attended, the officiating priest compared marriage to God... Marriage is God-business, he suggested, as couples share in the creation process and children are born.


















God allows us to share in His creation...














As I look around my (unkempt) garden the day after the wedding, it occurs to me that gardening is also God-business... In fact, it was the first work the first couple was called to do - care for the Garden of Eden. Gardeners also co-create with God: planting seeds, moving plants around, watering the garden.

But in the birth of a child - as in a garden - God provides that spark of life that leads to growth. The gardener's (and the parent's) responsibility is to care for the growth God gives.
