“Hearing the Word
of God”
In the 13th
Chapter
Of Saint Matthew’s
Gospel
Jesus tells the
story
Of the parable of
the sower
He tells the story
Of a farmer
Sowing his seed
He tells us about
How the birds
Eat up some of the
seed
And he tells us
How some of the
seed
Fall on rocky
ground
And doesn’t grow
And some fall in
the thorns
And don’t grow
But some of the
seed falls on good soil
And produces a
great harvest
What about us
In today’s world
Is God harvesting
A crop in us
I dear say
We live in a
godless society
People want the
word “God” off of money
People want no
prayer in school
No ten commandments
plaque on public property
Maybe
We can’t change the
world
But we can
Have a soft heart
We can have
A listening ear
We can give someone
A hug or a
handshake
WE can be there
For our family, our
friends
Maybe even someone
We don’t like so
much
How about you
Is God’s love and
word
Alive in you
Maybe if
Enough of us
Decide to put God’s
word first
Decide to love and
be kind to one another
Maybe we really can
Begin to change the
world
