I was walking through my garden yesterday when I realized that my cucumber plant was actually growing a cucumbers!
I don’t know why I was so shocked and happy, but I was!
I looked around and discovered that another plant is showing signs of cucumbers too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I’ll watch and wait for some tomatoes!
I can’t help but think of the verse that says, “He who sows in tears will reap songs of joy.” This verse doesn’t give a timeline for our reaping. No secret amount of days, weeks, months, or even years. It simply says “sow in tears and you will reap songs of joy.”
If you find yourself sowing in tears, take heart!
God promises that you will reap songs of joy! He doesn’t say you “might reap songs of joy” or “hopefully you will reap songs of joy.” He says you WILL reap songs of joy!
Let your faith keep you smiling as you sow in tears knowing that….
In time, you will find yourself having a happy day-maybe even a day full of laughter-
When you do, consider it a surprise cucumber kind-of day! The harvest is nearer than you think!
Longing for the harvest,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at
