Through circumstances recently, I’ve been reminded of the gaping hole in the human heart that only God can fill. In an earthly sense, we have to wait a little longer for the harvest of delicious crops and gardens. But in the spiritual realm, the souls of men are white already to be harvested. We only need spiritual perception and sensitivity to see when that seed is ready. Some plant, some till the ground, some reap, but God gives the increase.

The problem is, of course, that it’s a mess of broken down boxes that keep his room from looking nice and neat. Well, I had an idea.

One was pink with light green accents, and the other was dark purple with dark green accents. It worked out beautifully and with my schedule it took about a year to do. The pattern is...
“No big deal. You’ll do fine! It’s just Kindergarten.” Everyone tried to reassure me that I had nothing to worry about. My husband was very encouraging and didn’t even doubt a bit that I’d be able to pull it off. Yeah right, I thought.
