The seed was planted.
Permalink  
 


A lady walks up to me in a meeting today to invite me to her husband's 1st thanksgiving. I say thank you and then she asks me whether I remember taking her to an Alanon meeting 15 years ago. My wife says yes we did, but I have no recollection of this. I always say that some plant the seed, some water it but God makes it grow. Neither the one who plants or the one who waters is anything. Each will get his reward from God. Therefore God expects me to do the work He asks of me and the results are left to Him.

 I think I know what you're saying here Gonee, but I would remind you that we do become 'instruments' of God, therefore we are 'something' ... just sayin' ... ... ...
