Be Cautious in Your Choice of Seed[/caption]All of us are familiar with harvest time and a time of scarcity. We know the time when peaches and tomatoes will be abundant and fresh. Just as well, we know that there will be a time when fresh peaches will not be available. That is a given.
If you plant a seed, water it, and nourish it, you will have a crop. Plant one seed but you will receive back so many more. Have you ever really thought about it? You plant one seed and get a bush that has many seed pods that produce over and over until it is the growing season is over. Think about it. Take a pea pod, for example. That one pod has about seven or eight peas in it. Now think of how many pods are on a plant at one time. And think again, on the fact that when you pick them, they produce more and more pods. All from one seed!
Now step with me into the spiritual realm. Imagine that one seed you planted and the resulting bush.That bush will be productive and give you pod after pod. Let's make sure that when our harvest time comes, it is the good seed that we have planted.
Harvest time, a time of plenty, but plenty of what? That is the question, sorrow or joy. Let's live our lives so that our harvest is one of joy. Oh, imagine the lusciousness of joy that we will have. As enjoyable as peaches are, our spiritual harvest will be much more enjoyable than that. My, my, my!
