why plant/ if you aren’t going to Harvest

you took the time to prepare your mind, by clearing off the spot

taking all the sticks and rocks and smoothing out the bumps

turned the land gently to expose the dark rich soil and put in the fertilizer just as you had been schooled

now the seeds go in the rows deep enough to protect them from the sun until their roots have grown to draw the moisture that they will need

water from the pond and water from the Lord bring forth the little sprouts to stand erect and tall

you nurture them by raking around their base, so the soil is loose allowing their roots to spread

then they bring forth their fruit and God whispers in your ear:

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

you my son have done your work and I watched you all the time 

you never complained about the work and your attitude was fine

so you have done the work as I have asked, now Son let me do mine.

there are certain things that are your tasks and it makes my heart smile, when I see you do those things with such care and your own style……………….

now this is where your physical work ends and the work inside begins……………the issues that are troubling you are mine to handle if you just go be still, quiet your mind and pray……………you have planted, now wait for the Harvest

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

 

yes, Father
