These past few week have been full of random jobs. The asparagus have been taking its sweet time sprouting. These jobs have included checking cherry lines, cutting firewood, and cleaning out the warehouse. The best job I've had thus far has been pariwinkling. This is just a fancy name for perging weeds from the garden full of periwinkles just outside of the warehouse. Throughout the process of weeding I was thinking about how incredibly spiritual the process of weeding is. Weeding is more difficult then it seems and takes more time then the eye perceives. We must allow God to weed out the sin in our lives. I learned that we might lose apart of ourselves throughout this growth. This must happen to continue on the path God has set in place for us. It has been absolutely incredible having the smallest reminders of how much God does for us and how he loves us.
Matthew 13: 24-30
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'"
