Plant a seed (A Morning Meditation, Luke 13:18-21)

“What is the kingdom of God like? … It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden. When it was fully grown, it became a large bush” (Luke 13:18-20).

Can you remember a person or a moment that changed your life?

Fourteen years ago, a priest asked me a question no one else ever had: Have you ever considered becoming a priest?

I didn’t know him well. He might’ve asked other young men that question, too. 

But he planted a seed.

And it changed my life.

We’re all called to plant seeds like this in other people’s lives. 

Small gestures that can make a world of difference. 

There’s nothing dramatic about putting our iPhones down to listen to each other at dinner; serving at a soup kitchen; buying a Christmas gift for a stranger; or writing an email to an old friend.

But a tiny seed can change someone’s life.

***

Do something kind for someone else today. Plant a seed. 

Who knows what may happen.
