New Growth

A couple of weekends ago I laid down grass seed in my backyard (to be very fair I didn't do much of the work but that is another story). My backyard was about 50% dirt due to being very shady.

After the seed was spread, I commented that it is absolutely amazing that you can just basically throw seed onto some dirt and it will take root and grow. I mean it is mysterious that inside a teeny tiny seed is the capacity to produce something beautiful, green and alive. There is life inside that seed.

It has been 10 days since we spread the seed. Not all of it has germinated yet. But some has. And where there was once dirt now there is bright green grass popping up all over. Life.

And in other places nothing seems to be happening. Perhaps the soil really wasn't prepared for growth yet.

I love nature, because it really believe it testifies to God, all the time. That is the way of life, isn't it? The smallest word from the Lord or experience we have has the potential to birth new growth inside our hearts. If our heart is prepared for the growth.
