Spring starts today! What do St. Patrick and Spring have in common, besides proximity on the calendar?
Growth, new life.
Just as spring plants grow from seed to tender sprout to fruitful maturity, Patrick grew from child to slave to man of God. And what about you? How’s your spiritual growth? Are you more fruitful, more mature than you were last year, five years ago, 25 years ago?
Mark 4:8 (CEV)
. . . the plants grew and produced thirty or sixty or even a hundred times as much as was scattered.
