Jesus said “But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.” Matthew 13:23
The word I hear from the Lord is love. I understand love grows from many different seeds: Respect. Kindness. Welcome. Compassion. Encouragement. Attentiveness. Forgiveness. Reconciliation. Peace.
Today I will sow seeds of love wherever I am.
Mary Ann McSweeny 
I love that Jesus says ‘a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.’ I don’t have to do more than I can do, but I can do something.
