Spiritual conversations and busy-ness

At The Well This Week

 

Hello friends — how are you? We have some great things to share this week.

A food microbiology professor reflects on the connections between gardening and spiritual conversations.

“Much like my surprise in the spring when things I forgot I planted sprout, if we live faithfully and intentionally for Christ, we may either sow seeds accidentally, or sow seeds we forget about, which will grow up and yield a harvest of everlasting life.”

We looked back at this piece from Christine Jeske about living faithfully in busy times.

“I do not need more hours in a day. I need the mysterious grace to follow Jesus’s example amidst the busy, not just to rage against it. I need courage to step away to quiet places, grace to accept my human limits, peace in the midst of storms, and calm before outstretched, demanding hands.”
