Dr. Leesha’s Philosophy
A tiny seed is one of God’s greatest handiworks. On the surface, it may seem small and insignificant; but, with sunlight, rich soil, rain, and pruning, a seed blossoms into something quite exquisite.
The concept of gardening resonates beautifully with Dr. Leesha for gardening is a perfect metaphor for parenting. Our children begin life as tiny infants whose very existence resides in our hands. We tend to our children like budding seedlings. The environment we cultivate either nourishes or stifles their growth. Whether our children flourish or fail depends on the soil in which they are planted.
Allegories of seeds, fruit, and gardens also permeate scripture and reflect the capacity of the human spirit to grow and thrive, even in the midst of life’s challenges.
