Piles Of Rocks

Can you see my piles of rocks? 👀 These are a few of many I have made. We built a house out in the country & with that comes the challenge of getting grass to grow. 💚 The past few months have been lots of pickin up rocks from the soil so we can have a pretty yard. It’s been a great chore & punishment 😏 for our kids. Today as I was pulling them up & making piles (for the kids to wheelbarrow out)... it was so much easier because it has rained a lot. It got me thinking about the Lord & us. 💗 If you know me, you know where this is going & hard for me not to share. 😘

These ROCKS are kind of like the “sin” in our lives. The more you get up & out, the more your life & yard will blossom with growth. 🌼 Godly growth. It doesn’t mean there still won’t be sin there... because We Are All Sinners. It just opens up little holes where something good can take it’s place. I stood and looked at all the imprints in the dirt where the rocks once were & thought about how God isn’t throwing those rocks back at us. He is providing us softer soil & hearts to help us remove our sin. He is showing us what He can do with our lives if we make the choice to let go of our sins. It doesn’t matter how big or little the rock is... God can fill it with a life that is greener & greater! 💚🙌🏼💚  I really enjoyed pulling up the rocks because they were all mostly easy, but some were harder than others & took me a few tries. I am not going to give up trying because I know our yard will be even more beautiful with less rocks. God will never give up on me & you either. He will continue to provide a way out for you. Softer ground. Getting rid of the rocks & ruts & sin & filling it with fruits of “His Spirit”. 

Dear Lord, thank you for this time of picking up rocks & thinking of you. Will you continue to keep my heart soft so you can work on it? Help us all to let you have our wheelbarrow of rocks. Let our lives be filled with your blessings & love. 🙏🏻Amen 🙏🏻

P.S. and maybe a little more green grass in my backyard 🥰
