DO WHAT YOU CAN
This morning my calendar said:
‘Pray for a good harvest, but continue to
hoe’. It really resonated and made a lot of sense to me.
As we go through life we ‘tend our field’. We ‘sow the seeds’ we want to grow into the great things we want to achieve or possess. We feed those seeds, nurture and encourage them… but not all of them come to fruition.
To be successful in our endeavours, we pray, hope, visualise, imagine, focus and ‘do what it takes’ – and sometimes that is still not enough. There is always an element of faith, trust or letting go. God, the Universe, the Higher Power or
whatever you want to call it, will have to’chip in’.
Often you don’t know how life is meant to turn out, BUT you can gain a sense of control over your life (which, I think, is what most of us are striving for) if you keep going, if you never stop ‘tending’ your field.
If some of your seeds wither, tend the ones that are florishing or sow new ones. You cannot afford to STOP and leave it all to the ‘higher power’ – it doesn’t work.
ALWAYS do whatever you can at any present time and your
harvest will be rich and plentiful, your endeavours will be rewarded, and your achievements will make you proud.
