The Gift of Nature

.

I am so excited to participate in Spiritual Sundays. I like sharing time with wonderful women of faith. Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry, but we always give praise to God! Everyone is invited to participate, so come on over to Spiritual Sundays.

Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. Genesis 1:11

My dad had a passion and God given talent for growing plants and trees. He would take the tiny seeds and carefully nurture them one by one. Around our property we had so many different types of plant ; oaks, palms, encinos, citrus, cactus, banana, grapes, avocados, peppers, and vegetation. My dad had the patience and vision to see them through.

The trees and plants have all matured and my father has long been gone to Heaven. Looking back I can see how he also planted within me the love and vision to grow in faith. As he tended to his plants years ago, I now tend to my kids with my father's patience and hope of good things to come.

.

This coming week, lets all do our part in being fruitful and helping others grow in faith. It starts with a smile, an act of kindness, a comforting prayer, or an invitation to salvation.

God Bless You!
