Reflections from<br />

Mayberry<br />

Only a few more days until the first day<br />

of Spring. Living on a farm all of life, I<br />

always loved it when the warm winds of<br />

Spring would arrive here in the foothills<br />

of the Blue Ridge Mountains. My Mom<br />

and I would begin to sew seeds in small<br />

containers to transplant later into the<br />

garden. I loved tending to them every<br />

day and watching them grow. As I grew<br />

older, I would hear my sweet Daddy<br />

preach many sermons on planting and<br />

sowing seeds. Throughout the Bible,<br />

many scriptures speak of Christians<br />

planting seeds. As a Christian we are<br />

commanded to sow seeds. It is an act of<br />

faith, hope, love, and sacrifice. Please<br />

take time and read the scriptures below<br />

about planting and sowing. The seeds we<br />

palnt today will grow and bless others<br />

tomorrow.<br />

1. 2 Corinthians 9:6<br />

2. Galatians 6:7<br />

3. Ecclesiastes 11:6<br />

4. Luke 6:38<br />

5. Mark 4:26-29<br />

6. Proverbs 11:24-25<br />

7. Genesis 26:12<br />
