Isaiah 55:10-13 Watering the earth
Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 Parable of the sower
Every gardener knows how to prepare the ground for seeds and water. Our spiritual life is about being the ground — ready to receive the seeds of God’s word (Matthew) and to be watered by the showers of God’s love (Isaiah). So our spiritual life is about cultivating, being fertile and receptive — and the exitement of what grows in the garden of our lives.
