Good News Report # 49

Happy Friday Morning.


We have plans and expectations for situations and for people and since they are not “us” there is always a chance that things may end up differently than we anticipated. We do our best to plant the right type of seeds and expect that those seeds to take root and then grow the way we expected them to. Weather you are in business for yourself, dealing with a job, boss or with your family, we are always sewing seeds. We must always be sewing the correct seeds and be sewing them on fertile ground. By doing this, we will reap a bountiful harvest. The bible tells us that we will not see our seeds grow if we plant them on the dry ground or rocky soil. The seeds may begin to grow but they will be withered away because of no moisture. See Luke 8: 5-8. This is great to ponder as we invest our time in people, projects and situations in our lives. Be encouraged and plant some great seeds today!!!!

This is the last week of the first chapter of “The Greatest Secret in The World” by Og Mandino. My favorite lines from Scroll Marked II are as follows: “ I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout it from the roofs.”
