Post 25 of 30 :: The Gardner

On the advice of Justine, I recently read the Rudyard Kipling short story, The Gardner. I enjoyed the story - especially the language, which English was written quite unlike today. I really liked the payoff, in the third sentence from the end of the story.

Ps 103:15-18

As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its placed remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children — with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
