June 24

This is one of the many empty pots that dot my patio right now.

A typical June would see this pot and all of its buddies filled with leafy green plants: peas, snap beans, tomatoes, and whatever else I had a yen to grow. But not this time. This year, I didn't get around to my usual Spring planting sessions. So the pots sit empty.

I feel like that empty pot sometimes: like I'm filled with perfectly good soil yet I don't yield much. I'm not particularly proud of that admission, but it's true.

However, because God is a merciful God who doles out grace beyond what any of us deserve, I know it's okay that my yield doesn't always equal it's potential. And for that truth, I'm infinitely thankful.
