#Tonight Show# ‘Soul Food’ There was a young woman who took great pride in the growth and care of the flowers in her flower garden. One day while looking through a flower catalogue she ordered a plant that had caught her eye. She had never seen blooms on a flower like that before. “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she immediately ordered it. When it arrived, she already had a place prepared to plant it. It grew vigorously, with beautiful green leaves all over it, but there were no blooms. Day after day she continued to cultivate it, water it, feed it, and she even talked to it attempting to coax it to bloom. But, it was to no avail. One morning weeks later, as she stood before the vine, disappointed that her plant had not bloomed.... She was considering cutting it down and planting something else in its place, when her neighbor, called over to her and said....“Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the blooms of that vine you planted.” The young woman walked through the gate into her neighbor’s yard, and sure enough, she saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was filled with blooms. The vine had crept through the crevices and it had not flowered on her side of the fence, it had flowered luxuriantly on the other side. Moral: Just because you cannot see the good result of your labour does not mean that it bore no fruit....never give up on doing good....
