My rocky yard…the seeds are planted. ๐ค
What are you sowing? What will you reap? Will your harvest be plenty? How heavenly your heap? Placing the seed is the easiest part, digging and raking go straight to the heart. The surface seems scorched and barren at sight, keep cultivating to find the soil that's right. New growth might occur if seed is scattered or tossed, Without proper maintenance, you may experience all loss. That which you fertilize will find certain success. Without nutrients and attention, it's bound to get stressed. Use the light of the sun, block out all substitutes. Given time, love, and patience it's bound to take root.

“Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love.” Ephesians 3:17


Timely poem and beautiful metaphor for life. ๐๐ป
