A woman was wandering through a marketplace when she came upon a sign that stopped her in her tracks. It read God’s Fruit Stand. Without hesitation she rushed over and began to exclaim, “I would like a perfect banana, a perfect cantaloupe, a perfect strawberry and a perfect peach.” It was then she recognized who was behind the counter, God. And looking at her with a heavenly smile, He simply replied, “I’m sorry but I only sell seeds.”
That is the hope given to us on the first Christmas, when God come to earth in the form of a little child.
Hope with a capital H named Jesus.
Eternity with a halo.
That through Christ, men and women would take God’s seeds and make peace more often than war; offer tolerance more often than prejudice; give joy more often than sorrow.
Take these seeds of greatness that are within us all and make good things rather than bad things happen.
Make the world a little better than a little worse. Never perfect, never that…but at least getting things aimed in the right direction, certainly in the direction of love for…
Some say love is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love is the razor that leaves our soul to bleed.
Some say love is a hunger, an aching endless need.
I say love is a flower and you and I,
its only seeds.

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. —Proverbs 10:12
