Even when we think we know how things are going to turn out, we don’t really know. We imagine based on past experiences, we plan, we prepare, and we cultivate all kind of things through our action and intentions.  Among all our intentionality and action are all the crumbs that get dropped in between.  Crumbs like the random thought overheard on the train, the misstatement made in a public forum, a word on a page, the energy felt in a building, the smile of the sweeper in the airport, or the flash of color from the stoplight.  All of these crumbs of life that fall around us can become seeds within us.  We cannot plan what or how God might end up on our lap.  Before we swipe the seemingly unimportant element of our clothing, we are invited to pause.  We can check-in and ask God, do you see a crumb to be discarded or seed to be planted?
