This is is the season of fruits in our garden. This jack fruit tree is about 25 years old and gives fruits every season in plenty. The fruit is delicious and we have often enough to share with our neighbours.
During this season, we have had multiple crops of these fruits. While we have ripe fruits now, new ones are still appearing! This is unusual! Our domestic helpers tell us that it is because we manured the tree couple of times last year and protected the tree bed from overgrowth of weeds.
There is an optimum setting for all good things! Yesterday, a family told us about the way their five year daughter who had difficulty to use one hand two years back has almost recovered. The parents encouraged and assisted her efforts to improve the muscle power and tone through several playful activities. They were hours of enduring efforts.
I wish, we can live with hope and passion! Yesterday, when the Indian cricket team lost to Australian team in the world cup semifinal, Sunil Gavaskar, a legend of the game and a former captain of the Indian team mentioned that 'In a game there is loss and gain! Let us leave it as a game and not be rattled by it. Life goes on and is larger than our gains and losses. We can learn to make our lives even more richer..'
We are 'labourers' in the 'vineyard' of life! We labour with a mission and hope because, the Giver of all good things, God of our lives is our companion in this journey of life!
