A Time to Plant

"A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted."
Ecclesiastes 3:2

Reflection

Everything has its hour. You cannot harvest today what was planted today. God knows the right time for everything in your life.

Prayer

God, I trust Your timing, which is always best. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What season is it now, and what grows in it?
  2. Why can't we harvest on the same day we plant?
  3. What are you waiting for in your life?

5-minute activity

Draw a circle divided into four seasons. In each part, draw what happens to a tree in that season. Talk about God knowing the right time for everything. Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.
