Most of us are aware that it may only take a spark to start a fire that becomes a raging inferno. We associate fire with danger, damage and destruction and respect fire because nothing is able to live in it.
Few of us stop to consider the possibility that lies in a single grain or seed. One only has to ask a farmer and he will point out that a grain or seed has the possibility to eternally produce and continually does so. It is simply a matter that no one is keeping track of the multiplication process of a single seed or grain.
There are differences between a fire and a seed or grain. A fire need three things to burn mainly oxygen, heat and fuel, it burns until one or all of these runs out. A grain or seed may require many ideals conditions to grow and thrive however many grains or seed will thrive where they are and simply need someone to throw it outside or cover it in the earth. Once this is done some will need care and attention while others will grow naturally.
When I was living in Jamaica I planted crops around the house. There was the area that I reserved around the house as the lawn and even then I determined which variety of grass grew there. The rest of land around the house I planted with crops.
Here is my reason for doing so grass, weed or whatever will grow around the house, I had no control over that. There was plenty of rain and plenty of sunshine (it does not matter how poor the land is it will support some form of grass or weed) so I would for ever be weeding, cutting grass and bushing weeds so I determined that because this was so then I would determine what grew around the house so I planted crops and tended to them. I would ever be weeding and bushing so I determined to benefit from the process.
There are things in life that you and I will not be able to control because they occur naturally but we can benefit from the process. Many of our thoughts and ideas just need to be exposed (thrown out or planted) and nature will take care of the rest. Like a seed or grain some may need to be tended, cared and nourished, which ever way you may see things give a thought or idea a chance this week and watch them grow and multiply.
