Notes from the Potting Bench #2

SEED SOWERS ~

A wise man once told me, "Your life goes where your mouth leads you".

Did you now that your words are like seeds.  In fact they are seeds, and the soil they are planted in is our heart.  Words are powerful ~ they can build up or tear down, be a blessing or a curse, shape our future and determine our destiny.

It's important to consider three things 

• what we say about ourselves
• what we speak over the lives of others
• what's been spoken over us

As harvest time approaches, I'm considering the seeds that have been planted in the field of my heart ~ just checkin' to make sure they're going to produce a good crop.

Where are your words leading you?

By Our Love

This beautiful song was written by a guest singer at  church.  It's message is so simple, yet I seem to have a difficult time living it consistently.

"Love with His hands, see with His eyes".



I'm challenged every day to genuinely love others in thought, word, and deed...

 

 

 ...but I'm workin' on it.

 Please follow me over to Spiritual Sundays

Seedtime and Harvest

While the earth remains, 

seedtime and harvest, 

cold and heat,

winter and summer,

and day and night

shall not cease.

Genesis 8:22

Some of my favorite things are hand painted pieces collected over the years.

These six mugs have their home in a small mission china cupboard that belonged to my grandparents and was shipped to me from Oklahoma nearly forty years ago .





 

I actually don't recall where I found them, but probably at the local flea market.

 The mugs are porcelain, marked Imperial PSL Austria, but no signature .

 

Each of the six has a beautiful 
hand painted image on one side.

Wheat, pine cones, corn.

Acorns,  hops and hazelnuts.

 

On the back side is the letter "D"

(our initial)

Each lettering slightly different. 

 
Altogether, a wonderful reminder of Harvest's Bounty

 
Blessings!
And thanks for stopping by.
