Yardwork, Life And Fertilizer: The short and sweet of it! Oh, Crap!

So, this week? Yard work! Much yard work!  Some raking and bagging! And, I was planting grass seed and spreading a lil’ bit of fertilizer. That got me thinking…  Like always, right?  You plant something? You want it to grow, right? Well, then you need to fertilize a bit and water it alot. A little crap makes the grass grow and smell sweet. In fact? The crap makes the grass smell even sweeter than it would normally. Just like in life. Without the crap? You don’t grow. You don't notice the sweet stuff as deeply,  Isn't that sweet!  Yep!  Without all the stuff?  We wouldn't learn patience or love or hope or faith.  Now, guess what church was about? Yep! All this crap. Sweet! You buying that? Yep! You got it!  Just make sure you buy the right fertilizer!  PIMP LOL.  Sometimes, we buy into the wrong stuff and get in a mess and don't grow.   Seriously, though, God is so amazing.  And our pastor got the point across with stage props about planting...and also got huge props from all of us!  He always uses real life story applications to give us some life on Saturday and Sunday!  Sweet!  A little side note?  I used to have a pig for years and let’s just say that we did not need to buy fertilizer and I had the best yard and plants in PSJ for years.  Thanks to my Grace and her eating well!  And, thank you Lord, for your grace you give us!  Have a fun day everyone!  Have a fun week and do some fertilizing…  In your yard and your life and the lives of others!!!   And, the next time someone gives you some crap?  Just remember?  It’s the crap that makes us grow!    Sweet!!    And, like the stepping stones in the photo?  Each time we make it through some crap?  We go on to the next stepping stone...   Oh, and as our pastor Erick sang this morning in church?  "Thank God I'm A Country Girl!".   So, just spread “it” around a bit… You ask what am I spreading? Rumors? NO WAY! Love? Uh, no! Just some fertilizer…errr..uh, my story on fertilizer…that is. Okay! And, some love and hope and humor. My spokesperson? Grace! My pig! Being in “it” is what helps us grow.  Trace
