BLOG IN YOUR FACE

I was working outside in the backyard the other day when I thought about this little story about weeds: 

 “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?’ He answered, ‘An enemy has done this’. His slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ He replied, ‘No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest, then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning, but gather the wheat unto my barn.” ‘ ”

Some of us might be good seeds and blossom into wheat despite all of the “weeds” around us. Some of us might actually be the weeds in the field. Consider your life in this world as one growing season in the whole scheme of things. You have until “harvest” time to get your act together. When that day comes will you be harvested and brought into the barn or burned by the “farmer?”

Give it some thought, eh?
