Once again, the young teacher read the note attached to the beautiful ivy plant. "Thank the seeds you planted one day be like this beautiful plant. We appreciate everything he has done for us. Thank you for investing time in our lives. " A broad smile lit up the face of the teacher as tears ran down his cheeks thanks. As the only leper who expressed gratitude to Jesus when he healed, the girls who had taught them in Sunday school, they remembered to thank his teacher. The ivy plant represented a gift of love.
For months the teacher faithfully watered the plant growth. Every time I looked, reminded those special teens and that encouraged her to continue teaching. But Within a year, something happened. The leaves began to turn yellow and fall, all but one. He thought of getting rid of poison ivy, but decided to water it and fertilizing. One day, while passing through the kitchen, the master saw that the plant had a new outbreak. A few days later came another sheet, and then another. Within months, the ivy was again becoming a beautiful plant.
Henry Drummond says: "Do not think that it's okay, simply because you do not see your growth, or do not hear the hum of the engines. The big things grow quiet. "
There are few joys greater than the blessing of investing faithfully love and time in the lives of others.
Never, never give up @ with these plants!
