Little Seed was the story God gave me as I studied the "Parable of the Sower" from the book of Matthew. As the words from the story unfolded on paper, it conveyed the responsibilities we have to grow where we are planted and to encourage others in their own growth journey. Little Seed's story also reflects my childhood memories of time in our family garden and on my grandparents' small farm. Our family spent many hours together planting seeds, pulling weeds, picking up rocks, watering, and harvesting. We also enjoyed the many tasty rewards of those labors together.
