Sowing Seeds

Alisia has been learning about seeds in Science class and she made a beautiful seed collection display. However, it is obvious that we don't live on a farm, and we don't garden.

We were eating popcorn after school for snack and I noticed Alisia picking out all the seeds.

Me: "What are you doing?"

Alisia (with a big smile): "I'm going to plant a popcorn tree."

Me: "Alisia, think about the word popcorn, where do you think the seeds come from?"

Alisia: "POPCORN...oh! Corn! Then I'll plant a corn tree!"

Hummm..I'll definately be planting something this year! It'll be our project. Now we just have to think of what we want to grow! Maybe a corntree? Any ideas on something the kids can help with?

Luke 8:15
But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Brooke! This is excellent! I love hearing about these moments in your family.. I still feel connected even when we don't talk frequent enough. May the Lord continue to bless your family as it's so evident He already has!
