Just a quote

"We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development ... We can not do everything, and there's a sense of liberation in realizing that."

I don't know where I read that but you can apply it to the rearing of children as well as working with souls. Paul planted, Appolos watered, but God gave the increase. (I Cor. 3:6)

That's a nice quote. I think I have stompled more seedlings than not, though.
How do you get so many visits to your blog? You started after me and this is very upsetting. My counter doesn't count me, does yours count you?

Happy to be home. A great way to start the morning. It's not the seeds here . . . just the watering and watering and watering. We did have a small thunderstorm yesterday.

Jailgy, how did you get your counter to NOT count you? Sir and I have been trying our hardest to get it to stop counting my visits... I visit the most because I'm always editing my blog.

I don't think mine counts me but I could be wrong. It's because I bookmarked the dashboard and log on that way. I think I have more visitors than you have because I post more often. I think that when you post it comes up on BLOGGER as someone that just posted so that others that are just surfing can click on it. Go to http://www.blogger.com/start and see what I mean. There's a spot that says explore blogs and lists all the blogs that have posted at that moment!
