New life in Spring makes it so easy to talk about Jesus and salvation. At home, we have planted seeds, the beginning of our first attempt at urban container gardening. I spent time with each child, individually, as they cut labels and gave our seeds a strong start. The conversation about planting seeds, watering, weeding and waiting for a harvest was rich! And we are in this church planting journey as a family, so our children are being equipped to share the gospel alongside us!
One of our iceberg lettuce seed containers has two tiny sprouts already! As we wait for these to develop and grow and produce veggies and herbs, we also must tend and work for the harvest, yet God is ultimately in control! I love the imagery and spiritual teaching wrapped up in it all!
We also ordered ladybug larvae. We will watch and wait for them to grow and change as well. The molting and life cycle process is so closely tied to our spiritual lives as well!
I really love how easy it is to talk about God and the truths of His Word as new life arrives in Spring! Praying He will help me use each teachable moment to bring Him glory, knowing my children reap eternal benefit from those "seeds" of knowledge and experience!
