Water will make me grow…

Posted by Positive with Purpose-Rhonda F on June 26, 2008 at 4:43am
About a month ago I found seeds in a drawer, California Zinnias. Only growing seeds once before when I was a child in elementary school I decided to give it another whirl.I found a huge pot, retrieved my seeds and soil and went to town. It was a Saturday and my kids helped me, while I planted they washed the car. We were getting our chores done because we had a busy day ahead.I can smell the morning air, the radio is playing, In mere bliss I am singing, dancing and thinking to myself how God is so good to me and in everything I was truly blessed.I soon finished planting and the last step was to add plant food, I did just that and sat her under some sun to start her on the growth process.Days had gone by and if I remember it was by day 5 I saw little stems peaking up from the dirt. She was growing and growing and now a month later she has emerged to surpass the top of the pot. I am excited to see her progression. My Zinnia is on her way to become a beautiful flower grown by my hands.Some days I would water her and right after, out of no where here comes the rain. I would say to the kids “Wow if we would of known the rain was coming we wouldn’t have watered her”.In this entire discovery I noticed in life there will be things that you start out to do on your own, hoping to watch it nurture into a great finish. You will wait, work on it, watch it and water it on your own; often times with vigor, determined to make things happen with your own hands.Then the very Love of God comes in and helps you and sends water to you to help you along without you knowing, without you deserving it, unmerited Favor. Then you will begin to notice the growth of the matter is much valuable, stronger because Gods water is so much greater than our own.In every plan, every child, every business, every house, every relationship any dream that your soul desires to start. Start, Plan, work with zeal and prudence.Water your plant with prayers and His guidance; depend on God to give you the food you need so that you can grow. Proverbs 3 5-7By then the very thing you thought you were unable to do will one day be a California Zinnia.©Positive with Purpose Writings-Rhonda F 2008/6

    Rhonda I like the "Water will make me grow". It is heartfelt and as I read it inspired me. Especially now.

    Thank you.
