Seeds

2 Timothy 4:2 - "Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with great patience and instruction."

A devotional I read in the Upper Room talked about saving seeds. This brought back a memory of my parents who gardened each year. They harvested enough for all of us, and had plenty left over to share with friends and neighbors. We depended on the garden to provide our vegetables for our food supply as we were very poor and bought very little at the stores. They were careful to save the seeds for future gardens.

We are all called to save the seeds of our faith and plant the good news of God's love. It is our responsibility to plant seeds of faith in the world so others may be saved. As others throughout the generations have passed the gift of faith to us, it is now our turn to plant and nurture the seeds of faith through out the world.
