seeds?

"Here is another story Jesus told: "The kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field."" (Matthew 13:24 NLT)

How are you at growing tings?  Do you have a garden?  I have had a garden - until I discovered the Farmers' Market.  I have had so many African Violets a friend gave me a cactus candle she would NOT have to water while I was gone.  Both of these things were quite a few years ago.  Apparently in one of my moves I not only left any growing ability I acquired being able to kill any and all house plants.  So...... when I'm talking about seeds and growing things I'm referring to ideas not "real" plants or fields.

In some ways Jesus is talking about both....  The field a farmer plants (v.13), the weeds (v. 25), the workers concern (v. 28), and the harvest (v. 30).  Jesus even explains the parable verses 37 to 39.  Jesus is sowing the good seed - planting the ideas and calling to each of us to keep growing.  Yes, there will be difficulties (weeds) but Jesus will win. (v. 43)

So..... what seed has Jesus planted for you?  What idea are you working with?  How are you dealing with the "weeds"?  Something to think about...........
