Seed of My Heart

<p>Seed of My Heart began as a short story with the sole purpose to maintain communication with my eldest granddaughter Madeline. I would write a few paragraphs every week and as I did something happened. What began as a carefree story about the summer adventures of an old man and his grandniece sprouted into a deeper revelation about the richness of a life lived in ordinary obscurity. </p><p>The life of the main character a single man of many years and his borrowed beloved family became an opportunity to reveal the power working through us when God's planted seeds become watered by the Holy Spirit. </p><p>It is a story that I hope sheds light on the human misadventure with all its folly and heartbreak but with a spirit that is renewed in the dark of night by a whisper in the heart. The story provides an example of the rich blessings produced by a walk with the Lord-just a ministry of one seemingly missing in the dust of days gone by a single old man treading faithfully into the inevitable sunset. </p><p>In the end the old weathered soul winnowed through years of harsh wind and hard living now finds himself on a majestic mountain for a final time. He is there with a small band of sheep three dogs a horse and an aging eagle. The adventure of his final summer and of his last days on the mountain finds completion in a place of amazing grace. </p>
