Seeds of a New Spring
We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction
of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work.
We plant seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted, knowing that they
Hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We cannot do everything and there is a sense of
liberation in feeling that.
This enables us to do something and do it very well.
It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step
along the way, an opportunity for God’s grace
to enter and do the rest.
