Prayer: May the small seeds of kindness we drop along life's path grow and make a significant difference. Amen.
Reading: Mark 4: 26-34 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: There is a little children's book published in 1988 called, The Grandpa Tree. The opening page begins: "One day a bird was flying through the sky with a small seed in its mouth when a moth flew by. The bird dropped the seed and caught the moth. The seed fell to the ground, the rains came, and the seed began to grow." The story continues, describing the life of the seed to seedling to tree to more seeds to more trees. Our seeds of kindness may seem small and insignificant as we drop them along life's path. But as kindness grows, it can make a significant difference. -- Alice Yeakel
