Plant of Divinity

When I was a boy growing up, we had several gardens around our old house.
The largest one of all was used just for growing potatoes.

I can still remember those potato planting days. The whole family helped
After my father had tilled the soil, my Mother, brother, and I went to work. 

It was my job to drop the little seed potatoes in the rows while my Mother dropped handfuls of fertilizer beside them.My brother then covered them all with the freshly turned earth.

When the harvest time came I was amazed at the huge size of the potatoes my father pulled out of the soil.

Those little seedlings had grown into fruits of sweet sustenance.

They would be served in meal as baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, and so on.

They would keep the entire family well fed throughout the whole year. It truly was a miracle to behold.

Every single day of our lives we step out into the garden of this world.

Every single day we have opportunity to plant seeds that can grow into something wonderful.

Thus, we should always tend the garden around us with care and plant the divinity.

Lesson: 

We should always plant only goodness, peace, and compassion in the garden of this world. We should always try to plant the seed of love for God, in our & other’s heart.
