Team Effort

A few weeks ago, we fertilized the sod that was put in late last fall. In the midst of the lock-down when people call to see how and what we are doing I say, “Watching the grass grow.” Which, when there is nothing else to do and you have to stay home, is exactly what we’re doing. However, I’m starting to have a twinge of pride about my watering and fertilizing when I compare my new lawn with the neighbors old, long established grass. Mine looks really good. Paul said, “What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building” (1 Cor 3:5-9 NIV).
