BUT the workers are few (Luke 10:2)

 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful,
BUT the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
Luke 10:2
This seems like a verse we could think about in the fall BUY since it is spring time we need to make sure we are planting seeds of love and grace all around us so that when fall comes there will be something to harvest.

BUT if the salt loses (Matthew 5:13)

“You are the salt of the earth.
BUT if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
 It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
Matthew 5:13
Salt add flavor and help preserve. Do you had flavor to your world? Do you help preserve others?

BUT store up for yourselves (Matthew 6:20-21)

BUT store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:20-21
This is a perfect follow up to yesterday.
Treasures in Heaven to me is showing kindness and love to others.

BUT... on the good ground (Luke 8:11-15)

“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. BUT the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. BUT the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.
Luke 8:11-15
For many years as I read this parable I thought it applied to non Christians  I thought it explained how some listen to the word and reject it, while others take it for a while and then turn away while others allow it to change their heart.. Today as I read it I realized it also speaks to us believers, when we hear God's word do we just let it rain on us for the moment, or maybe even think about it all day Sunday, or do we let it penetrate our heart, fertilize it by thinking about it and applying it to our life that we might bring forth fruit (yicks) with patience.
