Plant The Seed!

This is a big week for our faith community. This is the week that we purchase and build our 4 x 4 gardens. This is a fun time and it’s a time that we get to give something that is not just a good intention but a living thing that will provide hours of entertainment not to mention fresh produce to the family.

What is special is when the job is done there is little to show for it. Most of that garden is underground and not growing yet. But soon there will be signs of life and proof that it’s changing and soon there will be something to show for our effort.
Often when we attempt to serve other people we look for immediate results. Giving sometimes means just that, giving, without expectations or “proof of life”.

We are sometimes moved to just give out of what we have and we may not see how it could possibly make a difference. I would encourage you to just plant the seed and let God do the rest. We try so hard to understand how God thinks and how we fit into His plan.

When I am sure that I am being moved by God but unsure of what His plan might be I try and remember this, “One out of two isn’t bad” and I just go with it.

God Bless you
P.G.
