When Steve came back from the coffee shop this moring, he said he came back with a nugget of wisdom. The coffee shop consensus was "if the seed isn't planted, it can't grow".
We have another big rain predicted for this afternoon. Potential is that we will have more water holes and small plants & seeds drowning. Do you wait and see if you can get back in the field in a few days or take the chance on wasting a lot of expensive seed and go out and plant. Well, we went back out and put the bean units back on and off to the field he went.
After Steve left for the field, I sat back down with my cup of chai and listened to the weather again, and picked up another one of my little devotionals. This was the one I read....
Harmonious partnerships are the result of hard work: they never "just happen". I don't know of anything that helps this process more than deep, honest, regular communication........That's not just talking; it's also listening. And not just listening, but also hearing. Not just hearing, but also responding, calmly and kindly. (ouch!)
The "hard work" also includes giving just as much as taking......forgiving as quickly as confronting, putting into the marriage more than you ever expect out of it. In one word it means being unselfish.
"Love......does not seek it's own, is not provoked" 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Again....."Seed that is not planted.....can't grow"....
I'm glad God chose me to be your helpmate....... after almost 34 years, I still love you more.... =)
