From Tiny to Tremendous

As parents, volunteers, neighbours, workers in God’s garden, we do the best we can. We scatter our hours, our words, our deeds of kindness and support and encouragement, trusting that they will fall into the good soil of God’s providence and lead to good growth. But we cannot control that. These parables do not ask us to control it. They ask us to be like Johnny Appleseed, scattering the seed of loving words and kind deeds along the paths of our lives, trusting in God’s providence to bring the growth.
