Good Morning,
My day began with prayer and a very tasty mug of Door County Country Morning Blend Coffee. The coffee is so tasty that I believe I will have two cups.
Hosea 10:12 Plant goodness, harvest the fruit of loyalty, plow the new ground of knowledge.
This has been an unusual year for both of our gardens. The flowers took a beating when the temperatures closed in on the 100 degree mark and the vegetables are perplexing to say the least. But through it all I have been watching a small flower grow in one of the most unusual spots. The flower showed up in the middle of some decorative stone in one of the hottest spots on our property. It wasn't planted there and I almost killed it, thinking it was a weed. But there it is, thriving and reaching toward the sun. A small seed from flowers last year must have fallen down between the stones and found enough nourishment, sun and water and now it has blossomed. It survived a harsh winter and a hot summer,
The point I am making is, this small seed grew in stone, and has been the object of our amazement. Great power is seen in this small plant as it has a will to live. Now bear with me here. That small seed as given the two of us something to talk about. It is the same with seeds of kindness and a good word now and then. Plant a word or action or of kindness and watch it grow, Give your spouse a compliment or a thank you. Send a cake to someone to celebrate another year of employment. Place a sign in the yard congratulating one of the kids for making a team. Remove the heavy snow of winter for a widow and bring her some hot chocolate.. The small seeds of kindness can push through the stones of hurt and despair and bring forth music to a soul that has been silenced by the world. One act of kindness can blossom in the harshest times in life.
So I end this babble with this. Let your kindness blossom and never pull it from where it was planted.
Have a great day.
Marty
