Seeds

It’s that time of year.  All of my cucumbers and squash are finally popping up.

 

There are seeds that will germinate in less than five days, while others will take up to five months—or even longer! 

That little seed has been in the dark, cold earth long enough.  I’m sure the warm sunshine, light, and abundance of room to grow feel good..

Sometimes don’t you feel like that seed?  AND just like that little seed, don’t you push and push upward until you break through that hard earth or whatever trial you are struggling with. 

AND just when he thinks the world is all fine and dandy, the hail will come and pound, the sun will scorch him, and pests will invade him … it is never ending.  Yet he needs to keep on pushing upward!  :)
