JOHN 6:63 NKJ 63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." Jesus said His words are alive. They contain life. The words in your Bible may look lifeless and powerless. Seeds do, too. But they are not without life or power.
Seeds * A seed is alive: it contains life. Your physical senses are incapable of judging whether a seed is alive or not. You cannot see, feel, hear, smell, or taste the life in a seed. There is only one way to prove a seed is alive -- plant it. * A seed does nothing until planted. Seeds do not grow sitting in a sack on your shelf. They must be planted in the proper place. If you desire the Word of God to produce in your life, you must decide to plant the Word in your heart and mind. * A seed is much smaller than the plant it produces. The problem you face may seem huge. In comparison, a scripture may seem very small. But when planted, that Word will grow in you and overcome the problem. * A seed always produces after its kind. GALATIANS 6:7 NKJ 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Whatever you need, or desire, find scriptures relating to that. Then plant those scriptures inside you in abundance. Those seeds will grow up and produce a harvest of what you need or desire. * A seed is powerful. As a seed begins to grow, it will push up dirt, rocks, etc. Whatever the obstacles are, God's Word planted in your heart will push them out of the way. * A seed begins its growth in secret (underground). The only way to tell if a seed is growing is to dig it up, or wait for a plant to appear. If you dig up a seed, you may kill it. * A seed takes time to produce. No one expects a seed to produce a harvest the same day that seed is planted. Sometimes the Word of God seems to spring up and bear fruit immediately. Yet, if we knew the details, we would understand that the fruit of the Word grew in that person's life over time. * A seed is persistent. A seed never gives up, but works day and night. Even when you are sleeping, the seed you have planted is working to grow and express itself in a fruitful harvest. * A seed is not affected by other seeds. Whatever happens to other seeds does not make any difference to a specific seed. Each seed sticks to its own task. One wheat seed planted in a corn field will still produce wheat. Seed does not become discouraged, or quit, even if other seeds die. * A seed will stop growing without nourishment. Planting a seed is not enough to assure a harvest. Seed must be protected and taken care of until harvest time. A seed which is dug up, or not watered, will not produce. * More seeds planted produce a larger harvest. 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6 NKJ 6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Think on these truths about seeds. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you apply them to the role of God's Word in your life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was back on breakfast shift this morning.. didn't mind it at all.
In fact, I really appreciate the 'extra time' ..
The work day was short handed again, and busy as usual
but it went really quickly!
Afterwards, we had our evaluations .. and a "special thing
happened for me" I'll tell you later, but first I want to pray about it,
check a little further into it.. and see if it is God's will to happen for me.
THANKS GOD! I APPRECIATE THE POSSIBILITIES, AND THE
CHANCES IT COULD CREATE..
Pray along with me my friends, that "if this be acceptable to Him, it will
happen, and be good for me also"
Thanks also to my boss and the principal!
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU!
