Me:  Watcha doing Prodigal?

Prodigal:  Fixin too sow the field for next year’s crop.

Me:  That is a good reminder of another way we can sow.

 

This is from Richard C. Halverson, former Chaplain of the United States Senate

 

You can offer your ideas to others as bullets or as seeds.  You can shoot them, or sow them; hit people in the head with them, or plant them in their hearts. 

Ideas used as bullets will kill inspiration and neutralize motivation.  Used as seeds, they take root, grow, and become reality in the life in which they are planted.

The only risk in the seed approach:  Once it grows and becomes part of those in whom it’s planted, you probably will get no credit for originating the idea.  But if you’re willing to do without the credit…you’ll reap a rich harvest.

 

This side of heaven you will not get the applause or recognition of someone who has done a lot.  God sees though and it will be made clear the part you played in God’s kingdom on earth at this time with these people of His.

 

1 Corinthians 15:3

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
