171 ~ Sowing and Reaping

By Kay Heitsch

Yesterday, I was certainly reaping encouragement as I received so many loving reactions and comments on Todd's Heavenly Birthday. Thank you so very much.

I thought about sowing and reaping when I remembered going to one of Eli's baseball games. I guess I was sowing that day.

I was really excited watching the baseball game. It didn't matter to me who was up to bat or out in the field. I found myself yelling, "Good eye," "What a catch," "Great swing," "Wow, what a hit!" etc., etc.

As I was all into the game, a lady looked over at me and asked, "Are you with our team?" I looked over at our daughter, Shannon, and asked her, "Are we with this woman's team?" Shannon grinned and shook her head, "No."

I smiled and answered the lady, "I guess not, but you have to know me; I like to give encouragement to all of the kids."

I can see I was sowing encouragement that day, and now yesterday I was reaping encouragement.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
