PLANTING THE WRONG SEEDS

Some time ago the Reader’s Digest magazine told a story about a company who mailed out some special advertising business post cards. Glued to the postcard was a mustard seed. The card also contained the following words:

"If you have faith as small as this mustard seed in our (particular product), you are guaranteed to get excellent results and be totally satisfied. Signed, The Management."

A few months later one person who received this promotional postcard wrote back to the company and said, "You will be very interested to know that I planted the mustard seed that you sent on your advertising card, and it has grown into a very healthy bush producing wonderful tomatoes!"

Point: Sometimes we grow things we didn’t expect because we plant that wrong seeds!
