Getting Ready for Planting

God is always ready to pour His blessings into our hearts in generous measure. But like the seed-sowing, the ground must be prepared before the seed is dropped in. It is our task to prepare the soil. It is God’s to drop the seed. ~ Anonymous. Twenty Four Hours A Day: Meditations (p. 112). Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.

How do we prepare ourselves
to be fallow ground for seeds?
Fallow land is land left to rest.
to regenerate. Nutrients
abound when we take time,
when we don’t try too push,
when we accept the role
of, “I’m not running the show.”
We allow our Higher Power
to be in charge. And, by surrendering.
we accept the abundant crop
that can characterize our lives
for all the days to come.
