You can count the amount of seeds in an apple, but you can't count the amount of apples in a seed...Anonymous
I love getting out into the garden and working with the soil, clipping back plants, perhaps moving a plant to a new location. I find spending time outdoors a really relaxing activity. Even when I didn't have access to a garden I had a lot of houseplants and would regularly nurture them with a song or two - there are studies that show that plants respond to touch and sound.....
The thing I enjoy most with gardening is finding a new plant the seeds of which find a good location depending on where the bird has managed to drop it as it has flown past. These little surprises brings with it a new variety of plant. But the key is where the seed falls which will determine it's success.
We also have to be mindful about where we plant our seeds - the words we speak to others, the gifts and talents that we have within us. We have to not only be encouraging but make the most of each and every opportunity, building up the lives of others rather than tearing down. Are we sowing on good ground, nurturing and watering to ensure growth?
I am grateful and celebrate the gifts that I have been given to share, and I am thankful for the growing confidence to step out each and every day so that I can be an encouraging light for someone else.
What type of seeds do you have within you and what type of soil are you sowing in?
I look forward to the journey and hope you come along and join me. Why not start your own journal, keep it as simple or complex as you wish, but do something!
