Seeds in Season: APPLE BLOSSOMS

Donna Faye Caudill from Mansfield Ohio featured on Seeds in Season Gramma Apple Seeds pages as Letters from Donna Faye, in Mansfield News Journal and other publications has published her long anticipated book. "TABLET of MY HEART".. . Life can be hard and doesn't always pan out the way we think it should. My years as a daughter, mother and grandmother brought about the dilemma of trying to do the right thing. The days of care giving for aging parents, children, grandchildren and husband while still holding down a job took my thinking capabilities beyond what I thought I could do. Along the way I learned to cope, how to encourage myself, and how to let go of what wasn't important. Derek Press $13 dcau559163@aol.com

Debbonaire Kovacs "GARDENS OF THE SOUL" "Faithfulness is one of those things that grows under a hot sun and in long rows. It grows blisters and muscles. Like corn or peanuts, it produces a wealth that can feed, nurture and support a whole community" Debbonnaire Kovacs paints vivid pictures of fruits of the spirit, cultivated only in God's garden. If you let God be the master of the garden of your soul, you will learn to plant a new spring in your heart. See Gardens of the Soul by Debbonnaire Kovacs printed by Pacific Press at Amazon.com, or at Adventist Book Center Other books, such as "DEVOTIONAL RETREATS" are also available. The book is biblically applied and non-denominational.

Lucinda Strine: "Thank you for all you have done to encourage our writing efforts. Your website is really great and most encouraging." She writes the View From the Porch column on Gramma Apple's Seeds. These stories had appeared in farming magazines in one form or another. She shares her perspective from the porch in a small town, and in the country-side of her youth. She has remembrances of simplier times in the country; simplier, but more labor intensive for a good outcome. She reveals historical events and charming tales with the values of days past.

Christine Sayre
Are we ready all of us, and do we know people who do not yet seem to understand the ramifications of eternity. Life seems long in this world when things are difficult but we can't even imagine eternity in our finite minds. I know how different I see the world and my concerns for the ones behind me, how must this appear to my parents era? It makes me prayerful but also calls us to be prayerful as to what God is asking us to do for others who may not yet Know Him and claim him as their savior.

This is what I believe God wants us to be focusing on during these times of trials on earth. May I pray to prepare myself to be girded in the armor of God to man each day I encounter with my main thoughts being on what God's will for my life is and that I join him in what he is doing each day. It is my prayer that all are in communion with Him and in his counsel each day.

Excerpt from Angela Duncan:
"What grows in this garden is very special, within each life touched is the potential for the word of God to go forth and touch other lives. In this garden is the living word that brings to this world salvation.
On a farm there are fields of only one crop, but a garden is different, within are a variety of things.
The earth that surrounds each seed as it grows, is God holding each of His children. The nutrients that nourish each of us is in God's word taught in a special way, by a loving person.
We are the herbs that season, what would be a bland world, without the ingredients grown in this extraordinary garden.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know the effect "Seeds Bible Study4Writers" has had on my life and I am sure there are many others who agree with me. My faith has grown stronger, my writing has improved a great deal, and most important is the hope given me in my God and Savior. I know God led me to this garden and because of a faithful worker, my life has been changed. I know April puts a lot of hard work into this bible study."
From "The Work of the Faithful" comments by Angela Duncan WorkFaithful Special

Angela Duncan: "I claim James 1:17 for my salvation. "Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above." How does that relate to my life, before I knew God's book, He sent a women to tell me how much He loved me and wanted to save me. I asked Him for one thing with my salvation, I said, "Lord, I can't go anywhere without my family, please save them."

my oldest son Bill met a girl, Lori who was a Christian. They began dating and six months later He was saved. A few months later Bill talked Jeff, my middle son into going to bible study with him and then to church on Sunday. Jeff was saved. Within a year,Randy my third and youngest son was saved. I knew nothing about them being saved or what it meant. I had forgotten about my salvation and what I asked for, I didn't really know what it meant! We got my mother and father going to church, they enjoyed this type of church and they too were saved.

God saved every person in my whole family. My nieces in New Hampshire, and my nephews in Virginia, my sister-in-law and her husband. Every single person in my family was saved! Let me add they didn't know about us and we didn't know about them, until the whole family got together. We all started telling each other about God and then we were all so happy the whole family was saved! 11 Cor. 13:13 Abide faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love. I pray that all who read this will find the hunger and thirst for God's Word, it will give you a full life and teach you all you will ever need to know to live it to the fullest.
