What about the soil?

Many times focus on the seeds that we sow into others. But sometimes we need to focus on the soil in which we sow seeds. If the soil is not prepared to receive a seed there will not be any growth. Many of us are hurting inside and are able to here the encouragement, motivation, or the wisdom of others. We need to nurture the spirit of those that we encounter and heal them with kind words and smiles. Once their hearts are healed then thier minds and spirits are prepared for growth.
