Seeds

As I walked with a friend, our conversation turned to the 'seeds". The ones we plant and the ones that are planted for us. I heard a long time ago that we have to un harvest a seed 10x before we take into our own garden and nurture it and grow it.
Wow I thought 10x. I have uncovered many a seed. Some I find and quickly and plant. It is those that are easy to care for and feed off of. Then I thought of the ones that it truly takes 10x to get. Oh yes I get them~ but do I plant them and nurture them like the others that were easy to receive. Do they get all the best tending I have to give?
When I resist those seeds, they just seem to resurface in different situations. Once again, I come around to it. If only I would realize that the quickest way is to go through and not around. Deal I say.
I recently gave credit to one of my seed planters. Sometimes we don't recognize those people. It could be a friend with a comment or a strange with a gesture. I believe that God places people in our life at those exact moments to plant his seed. Wouldn't it be nice to get it the first time instead of waiting for the tenth?
So when we get that thought to call someone out of the blue~do it. We maybe planting seeds. Even we may not know the full impact we make by a gesture. But it may be a life changing seed we have just planted.
Acknowledge God working in us. We are all on our own journey. I wish you a plentiful garden.
