I was first gifted the abundance basket last year at the start of my garden year. I have been gardening my whole life but last year was the first year at our little homestead and the first year with a garden at this scale. When we first bought our home, we felt God really calling us to produce our own food and be able to bless others out of that abundance. At the same time we bought our home, God was also calling us into some pretty significant life/career changes. I was so touched by receiving this basket and the thoughtful verses because it felt significant of that promise God had given us that he would be faithful in our dreams and callings. I displayed the verses in our dining room, overlooking our garden and farmyard, so that I would continually be reminded of his faithfulness and abundance, even in the unknown. The abundance that came from our home this year was a testament to His faithfulness. We were able to achieve our goal of not buying frozen or canned fruits or vegetables, in addition to being able to give away significant quantities of both as well. It has been a joy to watch him fulfill His promises to us in this way.
