This week, our message is “Plant, Plant, and Plant Again,” as we close out this sermon series.
 
I have never been a very big marigold fan.  I cannot tell you why - I really have nothing against the bright yellow and orange flowers.  They just have never been my “thing.”  And yes, I know they are good for lots of different things.
 
This year, I attended the plant sale at the middle school, and three marigolds caught my eye.  They were taller than most marigold starts I had ever seen, and I thought - let’s give this a try.
 
So I planted them.  I had no idea what they would “become.”   Maybe you are all about marigolds.  If you are, you know that what I planted was Tagetes erecta, (African Marigolds).  They are now an astounding three feet tall!
 
And now I LOVE marigolds.  I am making sure I have the seeds for next year, and will plant even more!  My plan is to have not just three, but marigolds all the way down my porch. 
 
I did not know what the plants would become, but I assure you GOD DID.  We plant God’s seeds, and watch them grow.
 
When we do this, the result is SPECTACULAR.
