Faith...grows

YEARS ago I saw a little snippet of poetry that has stuck with me. It went:

Who plants a seed
Beneath the sod
And waits to see,
Believes in God.

Whenever I see new growth occuring after the long winters, I think of that poem, and how anyone who gardens shows immense faith when planting seeds or tubers or bulbs, that something will eventually come from those tiny little things. These grape hyacinth are one of the first bulbs to bloom in my yard, and the deer and elk leave them alone, so these little blue scouts of spring are really welcome.
