No matter how wonderful, great or awesome something is, you can never want it or wish it enough for someone who doesn’t want it for themselves. That’s ok.
Keep planting.
Keep loving.
Keep believing.
It takes an oak tree about 20 years to finally produce acorns but it only takes one tiny acorn to produce a giant oak tree.
So don’t mourn over the seeds that refuse to germinate and grow.
Plant in faith.
Tend in love.
Wait with expectancy.
In time the right seeds will make their way into the open tender hearts that are capable of receiving and the harvest will come.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven…
Thank you sweetie for this encouragement!
You are so welcome Kim! Hang in there. God always has the best plan in his best time.
Thanks for sending me another Nugget. I’ve thought about it often. People grow at different speeds and like flowers they blossom when the light of God’s love reaches them. And sometimes it’s through the love of others , sometimes it’s through nature or loss or so many other things .Sometimes the soil is not quite ready and in God’s time it will be ready. As you can see I too feel strongly about it. I want the growth instantly for example with the boys or myself but as you said, it takes time and God’s wisdom. I am so grateful that He loves me enough to be patient. One of my prayers is that I grow in patience with the boys and others who are also struggling along the journey trying their best to blossom into the person God wants them to be. And we are all unique and beautiful in our own way. Daily searching for a ray of God’s love to nurture us as we can grow and share His light with others. Thank you so much for this Nugget it is such a reminder that I need to grow in patience and acceptance of others . And to see the beauty that God is developing in each if His own flowers. Love you

You are right Lori. It really is about being patient and allowing God to work in those we love. Be encouraged. He finishes what he starts!
