5 Minute Friday - Tree


TREE.....Go..

It is the tinniest of seeds.  It looks almost to be a grain of sand.  When it is buried, hidden in the soil, something amazing happens.  The smallest of seeds produces the biggest of plants.  It grows as tall as a tree, giving shade and branch and rest to the birds of the air.  Shade and shelter to those who might come sit next to it. That is all that is required of our faith, to give but an honest seed of our faith in Him and He grows it, spilling over blessing onto those who come near.  Those who need shelter, those who need rest.  Those who may be seeking to find their own place to be planted and be a shelter too.  Our faith will always produce the loveliest of things when planted in good soil.  It's in His way and His time that the death of something seemingly so very tiny, can produce the largest of harvest.  Thankful.

  3. A great reminder - our lives are not contained. They spill over. May we leave them thankful that they have been with us. Visiting from FMF this morning :)

  5. I love that you took the prompt back to its beginning as a seed to write from. To think that all that is asked from us is that seed size faith and we struggle with even that.
