Good soil for the heart

I am excited to write my very first blog on this site! I have created this in order to have a place to gather my friends who share my faith and their desire to love God and for their family to love God! So many of us are so busy, it is hard to meet for even a cup of coffee (or beverage of your liking)! I plan to make this site a place of encouragement and I welcome your comments. So grab your cup and sit down, read and comment back(I have it set so anyone can comment).

I named this site Standing on Good Soil because I so much want my entire family to stand on good soil. I pray for their hearts to be plentiful in good soil, but we have to weed daily to get rocks and weeds out. My daughter has given me many opportunity to help her weed her heart and I have had to weed my heart along the way as well. Where do those pesky things come from when we are not looking? We know where, so we get out our sword of truth and wack them down and stab at the ground until the thing is gone. We must remember to pick them up and throw them in the garbage or else they will take root again.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you so much for my family and friends. I ask you to bless each one of them reading this with your love and plenty of good soil. You are the master gardener and you know our hearts. Lord let our hearts be noble and good, let our families know your word and treasure it in their hearts. May we all keep pulling pesky weeds and thorns out so we will persevere and serve you well. You have many things for us to do, let us step up and get them done.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Standing on the good soil the Good Lord has placed in my heart!
