Compost...

I was thinking about compost today.

Strange? Maybe...

But...

Compost is old, used up, past its prime materials. These items are dead and you must leave them behind to move on to something else.

Life can be like compost.

Sometimes we hold on to things that we should have moved on from long ago. We are afraid of what the newness may bring. We fear change. At least with the old stuff we knew what to expect... even when it wasn't really good for us and didn't really make us happy.

The really cool thing about compost is it turns into a cool, nutrient rich product that enhances beautiful, new growth.

The process can take some time. It may not happen overnight. In the end, however, we are so much better off to have allowed the process to take place.

"For I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future..."
