Matthew 13: 8. But some of the seed fell on good ground. There it grew and made grain. Some plants made 100 times more grain, some 60 times more, and some 30 times more.
Jesus tells several stories about disciples. There is the yeast in the bread dough. There's the mustard seed. There are weeds sown by the devil among the wheat. And there are the seeds which fall on different kinds of ground.
This reminded me of my Hesse family who gathered yesterday to pay tribute to my late Uncle Al. Most of us were the blessed seeds which fell on good ground. From my grandparents, who were faithful Christians, sprang their children, grandchildren, and now 2 more generations of people of faith.
Prayer: Lord, I thank you that I was blessed to be born a descendant of A.H. and Julia Hesse. My mother was raised in Your church, and so was I. The seeds fell on good ground, and my faith is such a comfort to me. Praise be to God!
Amen
