We have dreamed
of a garden producing an abundance of flowers, beautiful foliage and veggies
for sharing. However, there are days
when we want to sit down and let it all go.
There is too much weeding. Seeds didn’t
germinate. Transplants are not looking so
good. On and on come the thieves that will steal our
dreams.
Life, too, has dream
stealers. Dream stealers thrive in our homes; exist in our extended
family and congregate as friends at work. Our passions for life are neither celebrated
by loved ones nor comprehended by friends.
Our
spouse or child observes our lives as a testimony of our faith and yet they
do not “get it”. Remember that it takes
time to grow a garden and it may take time to allow those closest to “see the
light”. We plant seeds with expectations of instant gratification. God plants
souls in the soil of eternity knowing full well the lasting rewards.
