AWAITING!! Watching & Praying

This is most definetly the season for cultivation. People and farmers are out preparing their land. Every where I look fields are being tilled in prepartion for their summer crops. Spring time is so beautiful! A lot of time and hard work is put into the beauty of a rose garden and the rows of peas, beans, corn, tomatoes, and such like.

How much more should couples seek to "cultivate" their relationships? After all, what is more important? House work, yard work, jobs, your routine, taking each other for granted, just life in general, if you're not careful, will leave your "marriage garden" dried up! It will become choked with briars, thorns, and lots and lots of weeds that WILL need to be pulled out. Yes, that requires hard work also, but the fruits from that outweigh the benefits of any other garden in this world!

In this season of cultivation I challenge every couple to give attention to what is most important. It really doesn't matter how long you've been married, one year or 30, it is NEVER too late to become a MASTER CULTIVATOR! Some would say that I went to the extreme, but I know God was in that!! And I give HIM all the Praise and the Glory. When one begins to pull the weeds out of their garden, the right nutrients will sink in and what you planted WILL take root and your relationship will grow beautifully and stronger than you ever imagined. The Judds sang it best in 1990, LOVE CAN BUILD A BRIDGE. 1 Co. 13:13 And now abides, Faith, Hope, and Love, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.
