Evening: Psalm 119:73-96; Mark 4:1-20
Seed packages sometimes advise that you sow several seeds where you want only one plant. To my childhood self, that seemed wasteful ... why not just one seed per plant? Well, you learn that not all seeds germinate and grow to maturity, because conditions change. Similarly, not every word of human kindness or act of generosity bears fruit. But - have you noticed? - Mother Nature always sows seeds generously, as if to say: Sow extravagantly. Keep sowing. Sow seeds of kindness and love. Conditions may change. Your perseverance may yet yield richly in someone’s life, even your own.
