plant your hope with good seeds

a song by the group

mumford and sons

speaks the easter story best

in my opinion that is:

But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
Look over your hills and be still...
Rain down, rain down on me...

too often thistle and weeds
threaten to choke out
hope and joy.

i suppose it depends
on what we plant
intially...

plant your hope with good seeds
and what you plant
will not only sprout
but thrive.

good seeds have been planted...
and the evidence of the goodness
can not be overlooked.

good seeds
grow
hope
justice
peace
and JOY.

good seeds
cannot be choked
or stunted by
thistle or weeds.

another way of saying
this is: 
you reap what you sow.

so
i'm just pondering...
it's what i do...

the bumper crop of good seeds
are more than evident in the
time and place i live...

and even when
a thistle or weeds
might wiggle into
the mix....

we can't forget or
ignore...

even thistle and weeds
can bloom.

it is
EASTER.

plant your hope
with good seeds!
