Neither Timothy nor Martha had a clue how to grow stuff as they looked at the good ground in front of them having enough stones to make a small mountain. Some neighbors reminded them that when winter came they were going to starve. Every time they heard the word starve they giggled without knowing why.
Come summer the crops grew. Come harvest time the yield was a hundredfold. Come winter Timothy and Martha, ignoring the neighbors’ security concerns, opened their doors to those hungry enough to stop by to make sure no one in the village starved.

Denise offers the prompt word “security” for this week’s Six Sentence Story.
Matthew 13:23
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Yeah, I’m beginning to giggle too. It all belongs to Him. And so do I. He won’t let me go hungry, and I’ll help others thrive. Love your story Frank!

Great take on the prompt, Frank. God certainly does give us more security than our human efforts can ensure.
