Planting seeds.....

After the long winter , spring is so precious and beautiful. I realized my plants are much healthier and grow quicker this year. The long and cold winter has done something good to our yard.
Kids are also spending more time out side this year also. They are more excited about gardening too. They are happy to do whatever,, weeding , shovelling, watering .
I bought some seeds for Karin's birthday and 3 of our children couldn't wait to plant them.

First they thought they could just take seeds, scatter them and that's it. They thought they will see beautiful flowers couple days later. Instead of that they founded themselves spending much more time for prep work. Weeding, plowing , bring some soil from compost site,
smoothing the ground also. I told them that seeds are like babies, they need nice soft bed
and also light fluffy blanket. If the blankets are too thin, they don't survive and if that is too heavy, they will not glow healthier. As I was talking to kids, I started to think about the support discovery. There are some similarity between planting seeds and support raise.

When we were appointed, we felt like we would see our beautiful result of support discovery right away. We didn't think much about weeding , plowing, watering, moving soil here and there.
That was very childlike view of support discovery.
We have been doing lot of ground prep work for last tow years. We had seen some beautiful flowers and fruits which were given to us. Also we see some ground which need more plowing
and watering. Also we see the ground where we just need to wait with faith.

Now it's almost June, kids are patiently waiting for the sprout. They faithfully water them and also get mad when ants are caring away some of their seeds. They are hopeful and enjoying the process.
So if kids can wait, why we can't wait for our ministry partners to sprout.
Lord give us faith to wait and wisdom to nurture the relationship with potential partners.
Lord teach as many as lessons as we press on this support discovery so that we become more effective minister of the gospel.
Our current monthly support level is about 60%. We are grateful and hopeful. Please pray for us!!!
