Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Plant Good Seed In Fertile Soil

A good mother had an only son
one she wanted to do right
she was no Christian herself
but knew the Bible kept you right

So this mother wanted for her boy
to plant good seeds on fertile soil
stories of Jesus would be so ideal
divine truth fully so heavenly royal

'Jesus calls His disciples' his first book
tells so much of the sound of Jesus' call
this explains why we follow Jesus
makes sure we obey always for all

The next Jesus book in his library
'Jesus by the sea of Galilee'
there Jesus taught His disciples often
about God's kingdom to inwardly see

Then the final book for his lot
was entitled 'two stories Jesus told'
the prodigal son and the good samaritan
great lessons there to be really bold

That little boy then only eight
loved these Jesus books so much
20 years later received Lord Jesus
born again with HIs special touch

Plant good seeds in fertile soil
mother made this her true wish
this seed took years to blossom
her boy became Jesus' own child royal!

(This piece tells you about a little boy who was given Jesus' books to plant seeds in his early life that later would bring spiritual fruit, that boy was ME!
These books were published by Ladybird books all these 60 years ago, as far as I'm aware they are out of print but can be purchased on eBay.
The three books are the following,
Jesus by the sea of Galilee,
Jesus Calls His disciples
Two stories Jesus told. )

Stephan McBride December 16, 2022 at 12:13 PM Amen Gordon very special poem here, just to have someone to tell you of that name Jesus, I am sure those books are great just being written 60 years ago, things are definitely getting worse all the time, now the spirit dwells within the Bible can be read differently than most teach, human wisdom can not comprehend meaning of most scriptures, May God bless, comfort, and fill you with His love , peace and joy. Gordon Mcconnell December 16, 2022 at 1:42 PM Thanks Stephen, Glad you liked this one and found it a very special piece. Hope you're well and trust you have a blessed weekend, Blessings, Gordon

Jennifer Proxenos November 18, 2022 at 12:29 PM Hi Gordon, no will never ever ignore or never not reply to your faithful loyal poetic teachings, dear disciple. I have been sick, got better, and then threw myself back into our business which did suffer somewhat, and now throwing myself back into my passion, writing poetry. Will read more of your poetry tomorrow my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer Gordon Mcconnell November 18, 2022 at 1:06 PM Hi Jennifer, So sorry you've not been well but pleased you're better now. Glad you liked this one, these books are really special to me for the seed they sowed. Blessings and hugs, Gordon

Valsa George November 8, 2022 at 7:11 PM Reading this I got goosebumps all over me. I never expected the twist waiting at the end. What your mother taught, went so deep into your heart. She planted the good seed in fertile soil. Now her son continues to plant good seeds. Those that fall in fertile lands will yield a crop a hundred or sixty times what is sown. Continue your good job dear Gordon Gordon Mcconnell November 9, 2022 at 6:10 AM Thanks Valsa, Glad you enjoyed this piece and found it giving you goosebumps. Have a blessed day, Gordon
