Some time ago, Reader’s Digest told the story about a company who mailed out some special advertising business postcards with a mustard seed glued to it with the following caption that went something like this: “If you have faith as small as this mustard seed in our product, you are guaranteed to get excellent results and be totally satisfied” signed, The Management.
 
A few months later, one recipient of this promotional piece wrote back “You’ll be interested to know that I planted the mustard seed you sent.  It has grown into a healthy bush producing wonderful tomatoes!”
 
Be very careful as to the seeds that you are planting.  Reaping will soon follow.
