SSMT #9

My new verse for SSMT is -- "Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness." Colossians 2:7, NLT

I read this a few days ago on Karen's blog Lily Valley and I''ve been thinking about it ever since!  As I was watering our garden this week I had to kneel down close to the plants.  The winds were blowing so strongly I didn't want the water to get blown away.  As I watched the plants they were pulled to the side, down to the ground, by the strong winds.  I thought to myself I'm glad that the plants have strong roots to hold them in the ground. 

We need to have strong roots too. We need to make sure we are rooted in truth and when we are we will overflow with thankfulness. 

Thank you for visiting from Spiritual Sundays today.

Have a day of blessings!
