Sometimes faith can be like a seed that is planted in the ground and lays dormant for many years. It is not until God sends someone to fertilize that soil that the seed takes way to reach for a new life.
If it is nurtured well, the roots will grow and reach deep into the earth to provide a good foundation that will support the tree through many hard years of weathering. The tree will become wise and learn to trust its Creator as it experiences countless seasons of awakening, growth, hardsip and rest.
And then one day, it will begin to produce fruit. The fruit will ripen and be ready to harvest. If it is shared with others, it can bring nourishment, revival, and life. But if it is left on the vine, it will eventually rot and fall to the ground, unused and wasted forever.
Inevitably, the tree's time will pass away and it will die. But not to be dismayed, for its heritage lives on. Many stories are told of its perseverence, courage and strength. The stories become a spark of hope for those who listen. And new seeds are planted to the ends of the earth.
Hi! My name is Deborah, and I want to thank you for taking a moment out of your busy day to visit Home For Him. I hope in some small way that you find encouragement and ideas for not only your homeschooling experience, but also your walk with God. I live in Kentucky with my Honey of 17 years, our three adventureous kids, and our small zoo of two dogs, a cat, a bird and three reptiles. Together, we have a heart for serving, and a love for studying God's Word and learning about His creation. Welcome to our world!
