Plants waiting shipping or repotting

some of the beautiful color in the greenhouse



Well I have planting fever and all I want to do is be outside. It IS spring time in alaska and its the start of our summer. I have bought some plants ones I actually helped get started while working at the green house. and I cant wait to get them put into the ground and see what they do. I LOVE the growing and seeing what I reap stuff. I wonder though if we were to stop and think about this sowing and reaping in what we say and do if we would try to be more kind, more giving, more charitable . Sowing and reaping is a promise. It is binding. It is a law if you will. It's just one of those unbreakable things GOD has established and it affects all areas of our lives Most importantly our childrens and grandchilderns lives. If you ever stop to look at people and see a mom and daughter or dad and son.....if you watch and know their lifes story one can see patterns repeated. Sometimes to be repeated and repeated. Sowing and reaping. How do you break this cycle. Acknowledgement and Grace . Knowing it's there , repenting of it and asking for GODs saving grace to lead you on the right path and steer you clear of the viscioius cycle of distruction and pain. Wow how did I get on this subject! oh yeah, sowing and reaping. Seeds bring forth flowers and plants and food and gooie batter makes an awesome cake and cookies.

It is just undeniable that we reap what we sow. If we give it comes back to us one way or another. Good or bad we ultimatly reap what we sow.

So go sow some goodness, some kindness, some fun, and look for the blessed reaping that returns to you when you water with LOVE.
ICorinthians 13:

4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,

6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

9For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

10but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

11When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

12For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

13But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

We sow , we water with love, we reap. We choose.
Love Rhonda
