How many seeds in an apple? How many apples in an appleseed?

Morning: Psalms 70, 71; Genesis 42:29-38; I Corinthians 6:12-20
Evening: Psalm 74; Mark 4:21-34

I love to play with kids and ask them the question: How many seeds are there in an apple? They answer 4, or 6, or 8. But then ask them: How many apples are there in this appleseed? It blows their minds! It blows my mind! How astounding and unimagineable is the future of the Cosmos, given the extravagant abundance of Mother Nature. Apple seeds and mustard seeds and mighty oaks which from little acorns grow! It all seems to say: “Be amazed! Open your heart to wonder!” You may want to play this game with children in your life?
