A basket full of bread and a bushel full of seed
Often what is given to meet our every need
From the simple servant farmers, whose employ is above
Hungry now we are no more, from bounteous hand of love
Filled and satisfied by word… as well as in the deed
Left to ponder future crops- by given heaven’s seed
Plant them in the heart and wait, the miracle to see
What starts so small and so dismissed,
Becomes a fruitful tree
We must not let our future be endangered by our greed
Investment pays at later date when greater is the need
So this lesson I would learn, when speaking thee with me
There is no greater gift to give…then learned from laden tree
To the stranger who is weary, and his hunger I might see
Give a little bread and seed…obtained from bended knee

I wrote this the day after hearing two wonderful sermons from
two of our ministers.
