“This plant here, it wasn’t supposed to be”
I didn’t plant it. I didn’t put it on the window to grow.
I try to grow a small vegetable garden every year. And I couldn’t find my bean seeds. The whole pack was gone. My 5yr old told me she planted food for us in the garden and it upset me for the wasted seeds. And then one morning she ran to me saying “Mumma, my plant grew. See I grew food for you and Papa” and there it was.
A tiny leaf. A single leaf. But for a little girl all of 5 it was food for the family.
Why do I share it here today?
To say that there is always hope. Always. What looked like a waste yesterday is a new life today. This plant sitting here is my daily dose of-
Hope- of a better tomorrow
Resilience- of the power of a small seed
Faith - of a 5 yr old who grew a plant from a seed
A plant that wasn’t supposed to be! ☘️🌱
