Taking Risk

Here is the choice: I have a small hand full of seed. Do I eat the seed now or do I sow it in the hopes of having much seed later on? Every time we plant a plant or sow a seed, we are participating in a act of hope that is inherently risky. This is the way life is. This is faith. We sow the seed, believing that the harvest will come.

Maybe it would be wise to save some of the seed for sowing so we can have more food but we should satisfy the NEEDS of the present moment before considering what to do with the remainder of the seed. Plant them. Seed will not remain usable forever. Put them in the ground and risk crop failure.
