Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is ready for the weekend. We have had a pretty busy week. I took Joslyn and two other cool girls to see the movie "Marmaduke" and have lunch yesterday. Had a really good time and Joslyn called me her prince again. You have to just love the little princess! Well, I believe I have already talked to you about our missions garden that our church grows and I would like to talk about another garden for a bit. Let's dig into some of the good stuff......
Bible verse: Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
I know everyone has heard the saying that you reap what you sow. Well, what does that mean exactly? If we are critical rather that compassionate, we will in return receive criticism. If we treat other with generously, graciously, and with compassion, these qualities will come back to use in full circle and in full measure. If we sow in the flesh, then we are going to reap what we sow. On the other hand, if we sow in the spirit, you cannot fail to reap good things. You can't even give the simplest thing in the name of God and lose your reward. Every seed that we plant for Jesus is going to sprout. It might be a slow bloomer or it might spout in a direction we were not expecting, but it will sprout. Our families, our friends, our fellow Christians, even people we might not like, maybe even people we don't even know are our gardens. Are we going to help them grow or are we going to beat them down and block away the sun? Are we going to be like SPF 5000 sunblock? I think we should put on our work clothes and grab our shovels and hoe's and get to work on our gardens. I've got some extra fertilizer if anyone needs any (some good scriptures). We are to love others, care, and not judge them. Happy gardening! Have a great day, I love you, and God bless!
