Sowing Good Seed

It's fun to plant seed, to sow a good crop,
To speak into lives and happy seeds drop.
Seeds can be "scattered" wherever we go,
And when they take sprout we will soon see them grow.

Positive "seed" is golden in worth,
For sometimes a seed to action gives birth.
A thought or idea when "seeded" away
Will be as a gift... a fragrant bouquet.

Inspiration might grow in a heart that was bare,
Or new hope and purpose might offset despair.
A kernel of wisdom can give new direction
To one who may need a seed of correction.

Good seed is found in the core of God's Word
And brings bright return in hearts which are stirred.
For the hand of the sower, by spreading good seed,
Can change many lives and bless those in need.

"...To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward."
Proverbs 11:18 KJV
