I sow seeds by encouraging others. However, I am much better at doing it for friends, acquaintances, and strangers than my own family, so I would like to improve at using it to strengthen relationships at home.
I am a helper seed-sower. When I see a need, I pitch in and help.
I love to sow seeds in the lives of others by encouraging others. I got this from my dad who when he talked to someone would try and thank them for something they were doing (like if he found out they were a janitor at the local high school, he would thank them for all their hard work in helping keep the school clean) and encourage them in some aspect of their life.
Seed sowing can be difficult if you are in a bad place, I am working on being a better seed sower in my husbands life.
I try to instill positive morals in my students and encourage them when they are feeling down!
This is a topic that I struggle with and has come up several times in the last week or so. I’m pretty sure God is trying to tell me something. Thanks for the conversation, it has given me much to think about.
As far as a seed sower, I’ve been told many times that I have a way of bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ into every day life as I teach in my various responsibilities with my church. I know it’s not me, I know it’s a gift, and I am so grateful for it. It has given me the opportunity to connect with people in a very deep way that I may not otherwise.
Thanks for all you do to continually inspire those around you.
Congratulations! You are one of our winners! Please check your email for more details.
I try to be a bright light for the people around me. I also try to set a good example for my grandchildren.
My most fulfilling Holy Spirit moments are when the Lord, uses me in the lives of other women, through one on one conversations.
