2,000 year old seed sprouts
Today I ran across an interesting article through Digg that tells of three seeds that were found way back in the 1960’s in the Masada Fortress on the edge of the Dead Sea in Israel. Recently, these seeds were planted, and one of them actually germinated.
Curious to their age, they carbon dated the two dud seeds and found that they were 2,000 years old, meaning they dated back to the life of Christ, and making the one that germinated the oldest seed ever to do so.
My take away is that you should never give up on that tiny seed of potential in someone you care about, regardless how long it may have lain dormant in an extended hot and dry environment.
Never give up hope, and never stop praying.
