Being The Lord’s Gardener
Être jardinier du Seigneur
Everyone loves a good story and Jesus’ parables – stories with a meaning- stick in our minds much more than clever concepts or logical arguments. The parable of the sower has a number of good lessons for us today, particularly when we know that life will throw up its fair share of rocky paths and thorns to put us off course. To get through we need deep roots and those come from quiet time with God, fellowship with other Christians and then putting into action the call to love others. One of Jesus’ last words to Peter is to tell him to feed my sheep. Over this advent period, who do we need to feed – materially and spiritually? Who can we help who is overwhelmed with life’s worries? Who can we tell the good news to and make sure it takes root?

Au cours de cette période de l'Avent, qui avons-nous besoin pour nourrir -matériellement et spirituellement? Qui pouvons nous aider qui est accablé par les soucisde la vie? A qui pouvons nous dire les bonnes nouvelles de et s'assurer qu'elles prennent racine?
