Philomena bought a new plot of land. But the plot had a garden overgrown with weeds, a greenhouse with broken glass and a broken shed. Philomena was sad. She did not know where to begin. Suddenly, a priest walked up to her and asked for a glass of water. Before leaving, he said, “May God and you make this plot the garden of your dreams!” This was just the inspiration Philomena had been looking for. She was filled with a desire to breathe fresh life into the place. Many months passed. The same priest passed by again. He looked around. The greenhouse had new glass, the shed had been rebuilt and half of the garden was full of vegetables and herbs, while flowers blossomed on the other half. “God and you have done wonders to this place,” the priest said. Philomena was happy. She said, “Yes, God guided me. I just followed Him.”
