In another view of my Caterpillar’s Garden, these beautiful words on gathering seed presents us with the results of the seeds we sow. Our thinking patterns grow from the seeds we collect and then plant in our relationships and how we interact or influence others.
Remember the golden rule? It is Matthew 7:12, “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
An abbreviated biography of Josephine Pollard (1834-1892) by John Perry, for Hymnary.org: “She became an author, poet, and hymnist. Writing many children’s books and for children’s magazines, including Harper’s, Scribner’s, and the New York Ledger. Josephine wrote 44 books, mostly religious, for children, but also about history, birds, sports and games, and adventure stories. She also wrote 100+ hymn lyrics as well. She worked as an editor for the Sunday School Times. At the Methodist Book Concern, where she edited a magazine for African Americans.”
I found the lyrics and music to Gathering Seed on Public Domain Hymns.
