Sowing Seeds of Peace

Plant goodness, harvest the fruit of loyalty, plow the new ground of knowledge.  ~  Hosea 10:12

Want to see a miracle?  Plant a word of love heartdeep in a person's life.  Nurture it with a smile and a prayer, and watch what happens.

An employee gets a compliment.  A wife receives a bouquet of flowers.  A cake is baked and carried next door.  A widow is hugged.  A gas station attendant is honored.  A preacher is praised.

Sowing seeds of peace is like sowing beans.  You don't know why it works; you just know it does.  Seeds are planted, and topsoils of hurt are shoved away.

Don't forget the principle.  Never underestimate the power of a seed.
