Tonight we had our first Bible Study/Pastor Rich talk. Pastor Rich talked to us about gardening. He gave us four elemental steps to gardening and compared them to taking care of our selves:
1) Preparing the soil: We need to turn over the soil and make it receptive to seed--we need to not have a hard heart. We need to pick out the rocks--look at people in our life who we may need to remove. We need to Spray with weed killer--Get rid of bad habits in our life.
2) Planting the seed: Choose the seed wisely--choose what you put into your mind through books, movies and TV. Fertilize liberally--Using the word of God . Water abundantly--Give lots of time to develop a relationship with Christ.
3) Tending the garden: Watch-be on guard, be alert, weeds will come back. Weed--Bad company corrupts good character. Wait-Patience is part of tending our lives
4) Harvest: You will receive more than what you put in. You will receive enough for yourself. You will receive plenty to share.
Our memory work for the week is Galatians 6:7 "Do not be deveived: God cannot be mocked. A woman reaps what she sows."
We look forward to next week when we will be putting together Layettes for Lansing Christian Services. We are still in need of infant socks, sleepers and bibs.
See you next week!
