Well, my vegetable garden is finally in, total plants: 3 long rows of green beans, 30 tomato plants (roma, yellow, grape, and regular), 15 cucumber plants, and a bunch of garlic, parsley, cilantro, basil, and thyme. Phew, it was a lot of work but well worth it. I enjoy taking care of the garden and tending to the weeds and watering, it gets me off my backside and into the warm sun and fresh air. The Apostle Paul tells us in his epistles that we reap what we sow, if we sow sparingly we will reap sparingly. Ummm Paul must have known a lot about gardening!
It's true though. My mom put it another way, "you only get out of life what you put into it." From a spiritual perspective we could say that if you want to grow love, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, and prayer then you better start doing something about it now, these qualities just don't come from no where, they don't fall from the sky. It takes work, effort, blood, sweat, and tears sometimes!
Are you sowing seeds of the Kingdom?
Are you preparing the soil of your heart for God's Word to be planted and to grow?
Are you ready to work and grow love, compassion, and mercy?
I HOPE YOU REAP A LOT OF SPIRITUAL FRUITS THIS GROWING SEASON!!!!!!!!
