Unless she dies, she lives in vain,
unless she loses, there’s no gain;
until she knows she’s emptied out,
her unborn seeds will never sprout.

This is a special message for me today, Melody! Thank you!!!
There is so much in this idea of giving of ourselves to be explored. I love the hope that I see in the way the plant world works – in dying, the seed gives life. What a wonderful picture of what our God has done to give us a full and abundant life! Thanks Debbie. Hope you are well!
profound!
🙂 Sitting through a week of meetings does things to your brain… hehe
Deep. Powerful. Well done.
Thanks Russ!
And yet we keep hoping for a different way.
Isn’t that the truth? Denial at its very finest. I think I keep coming back to this theme for that reason – to remind myself of the truth. I’ve thought of stapling notes to my forehead, but this seems the less risky of the two…. 😉
I wouldn’t dismiss the stapling idea too quickly 🙂
Bahaha! If I try it, can I hold you morally responsible for any negative side-affects??
Absolutely, as long as you send photos.
I wonder if said photos could kill a thriving teaching career? 😉
Wonderful–and what a gorgeous photo, colors so rich they look velvety.
Thanks! I’m very tactile, and I loved that rich texture in this one myself.
We have similar appreciations!! Speaking of, I got to thinking about your poetry book project–so now I’m thinking about going through mine, see if there’s enough for an actual book. Then what do I do??
Get it road-worthy and watch for opportunities/places to send it!
Okay–I’ll have to find a designated driver.
🙂 A seatbelt helps…
I suspect so. I’m great at dreaming about publishing–not so good at the risk, and work involved.
I hear ya, sister. That’s why I’m stepping out this time – you never know unless you try. My biggest regrets in my life so far are more likely to involve things I didn’t do rather than those I did – it’s time to live a little!
You are SO Right, Sister!!! You go ahead on an’ blaze the trail for me–maybe, just maybe I’ll catch up to you. In all seriousness, I hope you know how much I wish you the very best success and satisfaction–my prayers go up for you.
Thank you, thank you , thank you. I love that support from one whose work I admire…
ALWAYS.
Off you go to more meetings if this is the result!
*giggle* Meetings usually put me straight into a coma. Amazingly predictable. Today was really good – I don’t think I went into a coma at all! 😉
Hooray!
