Suggestion for retaining your tomatoes: put chicken wire around the base of the planter.

We didn't grow them, but we had a dog that loved to eat them, so I always shared when I made a salad.<br /><br />I sure do know what you mean about imitation.

It's infectious -- the joy and the quiet calmness.

He's so precious that I cannot imagine getting upset with him...over ANYthing! <br /><br />Our furry family members are such good imitators of us, aren't they? Oh to be such an imitator of God! I generally question my motives..."WHY are you doing this?" For you? For them? For gain? For glory? For God? That is enough to keep me on the straight and narrow...with examples like Jesus and Francis of Assisi, it feels a lot to live up to...but then, there's a place in God's kingdom for us who are more like the Tomato Stealing Tanner...we TRY. Our efforts are frail. But we occasionally come back with a tomato for our trouble. :-)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Paula ClarePaula Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572562635544226495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272729178612778511.post-30646802279218402932010-07-21T09:26:28.923-04:002010-07-21T09:26:28.923-04:00Love this story!

When I pray for a single focus - eyes and hearts on God alone - that helps me. I think Tanner does the same thing with tomatoes. Thanks for a great lesson this morning.Jean Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407030126646055880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272729178612778511.post-85603532877632857972010-07-21T09:23:25.316-04:002010-07-21T09:23:25.316-04:00No ideas on the crime prevention, but what a great...No ideas on the crime prevention, but what a great story!<br /><br />That imitation thing is crazy. I have so completely adopted the word "delightful" into my regular conversation due to my best friend's frequent use of it. <br /><br />To be a better imitator of Christ, I try to ask myself, when doing/saying something, "Is this loving?" When I remember to do that, I think it makes me a little bit more like Jesus. Certainly when I don't do that, I'm a lot LESS like Jesus.Alisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447952644086630435noreply@blogger.com
