Faith is like a little seed...if planted it will grow...

It amazes me how forgiving a little plant can be...my wild geranium has been buried under about a foot of snow for weeks. Our temperatures have been single digits in the evening & the day's highs in the teens...These last couple days of beautiful sunshine have coaxed it out enough to show the bright new green growth!






My heart warms at the HOPE of it all. My FAITH is always present, whether it's wafer thin & feeling that it may blow away at the sign of a light breeze... or on certain days, I am an unstoppable freight train.... or so I hope to be.

I will never give up hope that my faith can grow. It can always be strengthened one little stem, one little leaf, one little seed at a time....

FAITH

Faith is knowing the sun will rise, lighting each new day.
Faith is knowing the Lord will hear my prayers each time I pray.
Faith is like a little seed: If planted, it will grow.
Faith is a swelling within my heart.
When I do right, I know.

Faith is knowing I lived with God before my mortal birth.
Faith is knowing I can return when my life ends on earth.
Faith is trust in God above; In Christ, who showed the way.
Faith is strengthened; I feel it grow
Whenever I obey.
