Sooo....what type of farmer are you??????

Good morning all!!! A beautiful day yesterday and to be equaled today!!
Wow!!! Where are the golf clubs and golf courses on beautiful days like
this? (or the lake and fishing equipment for you fishermen)Isn't GOD
great? All the time!! Wow!!! Does he ever take care of us, we just have
to let him.
Yesterday we talked about the farmer who sowed seed by hand, touching
each seed, and where it fell. Well, what all does that mean? Jesus
was a little frustrated with His disciples but He explained it. So,
what does it mean? Here is Mark 4:13-20
"Then Jesus said to them, "IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THIS
PARABLE, HOW WILL YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE OTHER PARABLES? THE FARMER
PLANTS SEED BY TAKING GOD'S WORD TO OTHERS. THE SEED THAT FELL ON THE
FOOTPATH REPRESENTS THOSE WHO HEAR THE MESSAGE, ONLY TO HAVE SATAN
COME AT ONCE AND TAKE IT AWAY. THE SEED ON THE ROCKY SOIL REPRESENTS
WHO WHO HEAR THE MESSAGE AND IMMEDIATELY RECEIVE IT WITH JOY. BUT
SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE DEEP ROOTS, THEY DON'T LAST LONG. THEY FALL
AWAY AS SOON AS THEY HAVE PROBLEMS OR ARE PERSECUTED FOR BELIEVING
GOD'S WORD. THE SEED THAT FELL AMONG THE THORNS REPRESENTS OTHERS WHO
HEAR GOD'S WORD, BUT ALL TOO QUICKLY THE MESSAGE IS CROWDED OUT BY THE
WORRIES OF THIS LIFE, THE LURE OF WEALTH, AND THE DESIRE FOR OTHER
THINGS, SO NO FRUIT IS PRODUCED. AND THE SEED THAT FELL ON GOOD SOIL
REPRESENTS THOSE WHO HEAR AND ACCEPT GOD'S WORD AND PRODUCE A HARVEST
OF THIRTY, SIXTY, OR EVEN A HUNDRED TIMES AS MUCH AS HAD BEEN
PLANTED."
So....which seed did you plant or better yet which seed are you????
Jesus said it quite well, how can I improve on this?? Take it to your
heart and you make your own decision. Tomorrow we'll talk about if
you can see the light. Thank you for reading. Love you all. Please
pray for all our family, friends, and neighbors in need. Also, for
the leaders whether they be at work, locally, or nationally. God bless
you.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
