So me & Mom went to the store and bought seeds of things we knew would 1) really grow and 2) would produce some very visible results. Our choices were beans and sunflowers.
The past couple of weeks we have all enjoyed a few of JP's beans at dinner time. It's been really fun for him to actually eat what he planted!
Today I read this verse in my One Year Bible and I must say - yesterday I got 2 visuals of how this verse looked in my every day life...
Psalm 126:4-6 (ESV)
Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb!
Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!
He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy...
Yesterday JP & I had to run to the store before dinner. It was just he & I in the car, so I seized this opportunity with a captive audience to check on his little heart. I asked him how his heart was handling Daddy living in Heaven. He was quiet for just a moment and then he said this...
"Well, I'm sad he's not here -
but I'm so happy in my new home."
but I'm so happy in my new home."
I must also share with you the picture of his sunflower that he planted himself...
My dear friends - JP's sweet little comment and this flower is what "shouts of joy" looks like!
We still have our days of weeping - but for today, I'm thanking God that JP has joy!
