Mustard Seed and Yeast

Mustard seed, tiny and insignificant; yeast,unimpressive as a solid or a dried grain, yet when planted in soil or warm, wet flour,they release enough force to yield a nine foot bush or at least one large  loaf of bread. Power contained in these humble and modest grains released under the right conditions produces amazing results.  God working in us, broken, fragmented, yet "feeding so many with so little", as poet John Kinsella wrote. Let us not be too proud or arrogant to see ourselves as that small, insignificant seed, grain or fragment that God has chosen to bear fruit, feed or strengthen our neighbor.  "Less is More" the weak and broken of the world he has chosen to confound the proud (cf. 1 Cor 27) and to assure the skeptics that is it HIS doing, not ours.
Bro. Rene
