Marriage Challenge-Day12-Plant

DAY 12 CHALLENGE: START DOING SOME PLANTING
Take a long, hard look at your marriage garden, and ask yourself, if you have been planting seeds of love, sweet actions, blessings and intimacy, or if you have been fertilizing weeds instead? If you recognize a need to focus on sowing seeds from God into your marriage garden, instead of those of your own choosing, commit to tilling up some new ground, and planting a fresh new harvest.
It may not be easy, and sometimes effective gardening is hard work, but the sooner we begin to sow, the sooner we will begin to reap a harvest that is a blessing, and just maybe, an answer to prayer.
Planting seeds, & pulling weeds will always pay off.                                                                            Father God, My marriage garden has not been looking very good recently. The weeds have started choking it out. At the beginning, it was totally weed-free, and thriving. Filled with row, after row, of beautiful blessings. Daily watered with love, intimacy, kindness, and sweet actions. But, as time went by, the watering became less, and less. My marriage garden began to wither, and die. Forgotten, and no longer tended to. But, in the last few weeks, there has been regeneration in my marriage garden. There is renewed commitment, and love all over my garden. Sweetness, and blessings are growing everyday. Thank You Father for bringing refreshment to my marriage garden.

Great reminder to keep working at it, those weeds grow up before we realize. I'm so glad your own marriage has turned back for the better, blessings to you both!

Hi Denise!! A seed is useless until it's been planted! Thanks so much for the reminder and thanks for linking up! Have a blessed weekend! ;-)

I really liked your analogy of the garden on this one. Those weeds can come in pretty fast if we aren't working in our garden.
Blessings to you!
