As you can see, there are more little seedlings growing in our flower pots. The lessons we are learning about seeds are natural and spiritual. God is teaching us all through these lessons. I study so that I can teach them, and I learn more than I knew before! I love homeschooling!
We have been talking about how an apple tree can grow from a single seed. Then it produces apples which have seeds in them. Then some of those seeds get planted and more apple trees grow which produce apples which have more seeds in them – lots of apples with lots of seeds in them. Just think of the multiplication from that first tiny seed!
And spiritually, the things that we say and do can multiply, too. If we sow good seed – good words, good works, money to help others and to spread the Gospel, we will reap lots of good things in our lives.
Now when the kids say something bad, I tell them, “Ah, that’s bad seed. Don’t let that come out of your mouth.” And they know what I’m talking about.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
love the analogy, may I borrow this one to use in our homeschool too? 🙂
Of course, Rosemary! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. You’re always so encouraging!
