worms of grace for our godly composting

[ref. Revised Common Lectionary readings for Proper 10, Year A]

e-i-e-i-ohhh... it’s good and godly wise to offer seeds of the Good News widely, 
even seemingly wastefully with faithful flings, 
even upon ground that appears to be infertile or hostile to new life. 



We hope and trust that, through God’s Spirit, some will take hold in fertile soil (perhaps unseen) and yield fruit abundantly (even after we’ve moved on to other mission fields).  



It’s also good and godly wise to be mindful of the rocky roads and thorny thickets of in our own hearts, and occasionally til our own soil, asking for God’s help and worms of grace to make creative use of inevitable natural crap and other compost to better prepare our soulful selves for the acceptance, cultivation, and sharing of Christ-like love.
