ON THE LAST day of school in June, Freddy’s teacher gave each child a seed to plant in his yard A home. Freddy went home and planted his, but it was a long time before he knew what the seed was in September the children brought their plants to school. Sam had a tomato plant, and Margy had a big red flower. But Freddy told his teacher that his plant was still growing in his yard, and he didn’t know yet just what it was.
“Wait a few more weeks,” his teacher said, “and you will soon find out.”
How happy Freddy was a few weeks later to find out that it was a pumpkin plant! Mother made some delicious pumpkin pies out of the pumpkins.
Every Christian boy and girl is planting seeds in his life. I don’t mean real seeds like Freddy planted. We are planting seeds like love, kindness, hate, lying, or unkindness. What kind of seeds are you planting? What you sow in your garden you reap later. If you have Christ as your Saviour, and ask Him to help you to plant seeds of love and kindness, you will get love and kindness in return, and He will give you an eternal reward as well.
