He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” I stooped down to take a picture of this ordinary blade of grass, coved in dew, on my ordinary morning walk at the dam. On this morning this ordinary blade of grass, transformed by the dew and light, served the purpose of reminding me of the beauty of God’s world in even the smallest things.
Jesus was a storyteller of ordinary things - a mustard seed, sower of seeds, and shepherds of lost lambs. His used these stories, based on these ordinary things, to tell the world he was the Messiah, Son of God. We all have stories that seem ordinary. Most of us aren’t famous or well known for some great accomplishment. Yet still we have a story that is part of a bigger story of God’s story of love and grace. Each day we do ordinary things that, if we let him, God will use to tell the story of his love for his world. What ordinary thing can you do this day that will show God’s love? Prayer Extraordinary God Show us the small ordinary thing we can do this day to share your love with our ordinary world. Amen
