LET THE GROWING BEGIN!

Today, the plants finally got to feel what it was like to be in real earth.
Today they all went inground to begin the life of a plant. Seeds and sprouts, plants and cuttings all on the journey now. Seeds need to crack the shell to burst forth. The cuttings need to grow some roots. The plants just need to get going.
We are like these plants.
Young teen children remind me of seeds because beneath that exterior shell is pure goodness.
Young adults remind me of cuttings because they are so ready to make their place in the world.
Mature adults remind me of plants because if we stop too long we stop too long!
So the basement is empty and that is bittersweet. It was fun to watch them grow and sprout and now they are on their own, how realistic is that?
Sunday cometh again.
Take some time and sit and be silent.
Here that still small voice inside and listen to what it says.
Trust.
Believe.
Listen.
Know that you are loved.
Know that God thinks you are the best thing since night baseball or sliced bread (take your pick they are both pretty great) and tell someone else that God loves them too!
Tomorrow pictures of gardens and socks, promise!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD
