Children’s Home masked the real reason for her call:
“Mrs. Tammy, guess what I am doing?” Almost
afraid to ask, I reluctantly said, “What?” Joyfully she
replied, “Dyeing Easter eggs with my son.” My heart
skipped a beat. She continued, “Do you remember
when you MADE me dye those eggs and then hunt
them?” Could I forget? “We had fun that day, didn’t
we—even though I gave you a hard time? If you had
not made me dye eggs that day, Mrs. Tammy, I
wouldn’t know how to do it with my son today—and
I just wanted to say Thank You.”
We often talk about planting seeds here at the

seeds blossom. Our job is simply to plant them. That
