I bought a couple packets at the store the other day. I am still deciding if I want to give a go at some garden type boxes to grow vegetables. I see plans and pictures and like the idea, but haven't decided if I want to put forth the effort or cost to end up feeding the neighborhood squirrels. Chevy already ate two of the little green strawberries that had grown of the lonely plants. Then there is the fact of snake sightings this week. I have put a minimal amount of thought into this since I have had other things on my mind. Today in junior church, Ted talked about the petunias I planted this week...how they started out as seeds. The seeds were planted in the soil and then had to be watered everyday. He asked the children,
"What kind of seeds are you planting in your heart?" I thought about these seed packets.
I thought about the different "seeds" that fall on my heart every day.
Fear, doubt, discouragement, worry, anger, bitterness, frustration...
Some are bad...sinful!
Peace, contentment, joy, kindness, gentleness, thankfulness, love...
Some are good...fruits of the Spirit!
It got me to thinking...what seeds am I cultivating and watering?
