Seed Spreader

One of my favorite hobbies is gardening. It amazes me how one tiny seed can grow into something so tall...and fruitful!

Gardening takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and determination.

You stick a tiny seed into the ground...not knowing if it will even germinate. But when it pops its little head up out of the ground, the proud mama in me appears!

For weeks...even months...I watch it, tend to it, water it, protect it, and watch for those first tiny blooms or buds.

Waiting and watching seems like an eternity...but the results are so worth it!

Plant those seeds today...and watch how they grow! You may not see fruit for a long time...but there will be fruit...and it will be worth it!

I still communicate with children I taught years ago...and watching them grow...and the fruit mature is so very satisfying!

Pray, roll up your sleeves, put on your gardening gloves, grab your shovel...and get to planting!

The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few

And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When He saw the crowds, He had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38.

“This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. Luke 8:11
