The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle

Jesus describes Heaven like a mustard seed. The Tiny seed which measures 1-2mm becomes the tallest of plants, so tall that people come to see them. In Palestine, a very familiar sight would have been mustard bushes that grow six to twelve feet high. Flocks of birds rest in them as they enjoy snacking on the tiny black mustard seeds.

We don’t always know whether our families have a faith or not however we should always try to plant little seeds within them and then nurture them to help them grow.
