The produce is finally getting ripe. The summer squash is in full production; the tomatoes are trying to turn red; the corn is tasseling; the beans are beaning; the broccoli is broccolitizing. (OK, so that's not a real word.... a little neologism never hurt).It's time to start thinking about planting again. That's rather hard to do. I am so tired of weeding and the harvest is just beginning.... but the cool crops can yet again grow. It is great having spinach, lettuce, radishes, and other spring vegetables in September. So perhaps later this week I will till the earth and sow again.
"The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." -- A biblical verse pertaining to giving cheerfully. Isn't it interesting how many agricultural metaphors there are in the Bible? There is something so common and simple in growing things. Common sense. Shared experience. One cannot reap what he or she has not sown.
Time to get those seeds in the ground. Are there other seeds (cheerful giving, spontaneous praise, or a thankful heart) that need sowing today?
