A few weeks ago I planted a seed...a sunflower seed to be specific. Below is a picture of the newly sprouted sunflower.
In this picture the plant is about ONE INCH tall. If it survives the elements of nature and nature takes its course, this small plant will grow to be TWELVE FEET tall. Quite amazing, don't you think?
Months ago, Gordon planted a "seed" in my "garden".
I sort of let it grow a little, watered it now and then, pulled up a few weeds that were choking it out, tangled with a giant who kicked me in the teeth...
Gordon would stop by now and then...pull a few weeds, add a little fertilizer, and water once in awhile.
But, you see, it was MY garden, not his. I was responsible for tending to the plant, not Gordon.
Well, somehow that seed survived and sprouted and has grown. The harvest is yet to come...
Thank you, Gordon--the gifted gardener.
Have a blessed day!
