...but one who

sows righteousness 

gets a sure reward.

         Proverbs 11. 18

(Sowing righteousness

             and grace

always produces 

    a different outcome.

What am I choosing 

       to plant

in this rocky situation 

or difficult relationship 

      that will take root

      and bear fruit,

even that I may not see

       in my lifetime?)

O LORD,

Help me to sow love,

kindness,

and grace

in unexpected ways

  and impossible places.

For. Your. Glory.

Please help me

   to choose Your way

   through this briar patch

and to view wilderness 

     and scrubland 

         with Your eyes.

You, O LORD,

transform the landscape,

even here,

even in this.
