Fall bulbs and Dr. Suess

The weather is cooling off, the spring flowers are resting, the summer blossoms are being tucked in and the hardy fall bulbs are stretching and getting ready to show off.

Different seasons, same story.

Each lies dormant, but as a friend reminded me this past weekend, they are far from barren.

I awoke this morning with a burn in my soul for Lord, being reminded of his goodness to me and his creation. As I read The Lorax to my daughter before school my spirit was quikened by the Holy Spirit....

The Seed of Abraham, the promised Christ was planted and cut down. God has transferred this the promise into us, the followers who have received the promised gift and down payment of the Holy Spirit. Generations after generations have forgotten that we are the keepers of the Seed.

I feel as if the time is telling us to proclaim and rebuild
To walk into the barren areas and proclaim that indeed God can heal
To speak to those who are content that they could be radiant

Suess writes;
"...So he let's something fall
It's a truffula seed. It's the last one of all! You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds. And Truffelas Trees are what everyone needs.

Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care. Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air. Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.

Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back..."

Beloved, treat the Seed of Abraham that was planted within you with great care (Romans 8:9). Be intentional to nurture it (Galations 5:13-25). Grow in the Tree you were created to be (Isaiah 61:3).
And then perhaps we shall see the return of the forests..and a great revival shall break out as those in the clear-cut will behold the Master in all is glory.
