Transcript:

Former chaplain both to Harvard and Stanford universities D. Elton Trueblood “It takes a noble man to plant a seed for a tree that will some day give shade to people he may never meet.” You are planting seeds every time you interact with someone and you may not be aware of what type of seeds you’re planting until years later. When you run into that old classmate or co-worker, how do they react? Do they remember you fondly or are they still carrying hurt? Are they gnarled and twisted or do they stand tall? What kind of seeds do you want to plant? Don’t be careless with people. Sow seeds of integrity, character, trust, compassion and maybe one day you’ll know the impact that tree has had on generations.
