The older apple tries to convince the younger apple clinging to the branch that falling to the ground and going through decomposition has greater purpose than just being picked and eaten. It explains that the apple's seeds will sprout new trees that will produce hundreds more apples for generations to come. Though reluctant at first, the little apple realizes there is more to its life than a shiny red skin and being enjoyed temporarily, expressing "Wow!" at the greater role it could play by continuing the cycle of new apple trees.

Law Of The Seed
The document discusses the "Law of the Seed" - that not all seeds planted will grow, just like not all efforts and attempts in life will succeed. It takes many tries to achieve something, whether that's getting a job through many interviews, finding a good employee through many interviews, or selling something through many conversations. When we understand this law of nature and that failure is part of the process, we don't get as disappointed by setbacks. Successful people understand this and are willing to plant more seeds through more attempts and efforts. It's important to have preferences for how we want things to go but also accept when things don't go our way instead of getting angry or frustrated by events we can't control.

The document discusses the "Law of the Seed" - the concept that not all seeds planted will grow, just as not all efforts and attempts in life will succeed. It explains that successful people fail more often but plant more seeds by making multiple attempts. It advises that to avoid disappointment, one should understand that laws of nature are not personal and work with them by planting more seeds rather than feeling like a victim when some don't grow. The document also suggests having preferences rather than expectations, as preferences allow for acceptance when things don't go as preferred.

MAMA CONCHA
My first and perhaps only memories of my grandmotherMama Concha were of the vast fields where we lived on
the outskirts of Los Angeles. Our properties were close enough
that I could walk to my grandparents’ house. My house wasn’t
big, but the land where it was built appeared to me back then to
be long and wide. My parents and especially my grandfather,
who came to live with us after Mama Concha died, loved to
plant vegetable gardens, fruit trees and small parcels of corn
and sugar cane. We also had chickens, goats and dozens of rab-
bits. I would always follow my grandfather around whenever he
worked in the garden, fed the animals or when he slaughtered a
chicken or rabbit for supper. I was about four years old when
my father began to help with the slaughtering. I began to real-
ize that my little grandfather, who once had hands like bear
paws, was finding it more difficult to keep the animals from
squirming free. Whenever a chicken or rabbit escaped the chop-
ping block, he would get mad and start yelling a bunch of bad
words that would bring my father out to calm him down. My
grandfather was already very old, and he spent his days reliving
his memories. In the evenings, as the sun set and the air was
refreshed by a gentle breeze, I would see him sitting under one
of the quince trees. Here he would tell me stories about my
grandmother. He cried a lot because he missed her, and he

For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)
The document discusses the "Law of the Seed" using the analogy of an apple tree producing many seeds despite only needing a few to grow more trees. It explains that in life, most "seeds" or attempts do not succeed, so one must be persistent in trying multiple times to achieve their goals, whether that's getting a job through many interviews, finding a good employee through many interviews, or selling something through talking to many people. It concludes that successful people understand this law and are not discouraged by failure, keeping a perspective that laws of nature are not personal and working within natural constraints rather than expecting the world to conform to one's preferences.
It Matters
1) Everything has its purpose and place in the natural cycle of life, from the bud preparing for the bloom to the fruit that nourishes.
2) Some say it does not matter, but the fate of the fig tree shows that every action and inaction has consequence.
3) How we live our lives and treat others really does matter, as we will be judged by our fruits. We should love God, love our neighbors, be kind, forgive, and share with others.

MAMA CONCHA
My first and perhaps only memories of my grandmotherMama Concha were of the vast fields where we lived on
the outskirts of Los Angeles. Our properties were close enough
that I could walk to my grandparents’ house. My house wasn’t
big, but the land where it was built appeared to me back then to
be long and wide. My parents and especially my grandfather,
who came to live with us after Mama Concha died, loved to
plant vegetable gardens, fruit trees and small parcels of corn
and sugar cane. We also had chickens, goats and dozens of rab-
bits. I would always follow my grandfather around whenever he
worked in the garden, fed the animals or when he slaughtered a
chicken or rabbit for supper. I was about four years old when
my father began to help with the slaughtering. I began to real-
ize that my little grandfather, who once had hands like bear
paws, was finding it more difficult to keep the animals from

would say that he couldn’t live without her. This always fright-
ened me because I didn’t want to lose my grandfather, too.
From what I remember about Mama Concha, I would
always see her picking fruit or carrying fruit up to the house or
preparing it for mealtime. She had a special way with grandfa-
ther’s strawberries. I got to help her harvest them, filling a
basket for the whole family. I felt proud to be able to help my
grandmother, and I insisted on carrying the basket which would
be so full of big, juicy red berries that I couldn’t see in front of
me. So I walked sideways with my eyes fixed steadily on the
path. My grandmother followed patiently behind, right up until
I lifted the basket up onto the kitchen table. She made me wash
my hands before picking out the best strawberries, which was
hard to do because they all looked so scrumptious. I washed
them and put them in a big bowl. She would bring out a knife,
cutting board and mortar. She placed a d ...

MAMA CONCHA
My first and perhaps only memories of my grandmotherMama Concha were of the vast fields where we lived on
the outskirts of Los Angeles. Our properties were close enough
that I could walk to my grandparents’ house. My house wasn’t
big, but the land where it was built appeared to me back then to
be long and wide. My parents and especially my grandfather,
who came to live with us after Mama Concha died, loved to
plant vegetable gardens, fruit trees and small parcels of corn
and sugar cane. We also had chickens, goats and dozens of rab-
bits. I would always follow my grandfather around whenever he
worked in the garden, fed the animals or when he slaughtered a
chicken or rabbit for supper. I was about four years old when
my father began to help with the slaughtering. I began to real-
ize that my little grandfather, who once had hands like bear
paws, was finding it more difficult to keep the animals from
squirming free. Whenever a chicken or rabbit escaped the chop-
ping block, he would get mad and start yelling a bunch of bad
words that would bring my father out to calm him down. My
grandfather was already very old, and he spent his days reliving
his memories. In the evenings, as the sun set and the air was

For a Better Life 2 (Law of the Seed)
The document discusses the "Law of the Seed" using the analogy of an apple tree producing many seeds despite only needing a few to grow more trees. It explains that in life, most "seeds" or attempts do not succeed, so one must be persistent in trying multiple times to achieve their goals, whether that's getting a job through many interviews, finding a good employee through many interviews, or selling something through talking to many people. It concludes that successful people understand this law and are not discouraged by failure, keeping a perspective that laws of nature are not personal and working within natural constraints rather than expecting the world to conform to one's preferences.
It Matters
1) Everything has its purpose and place in the natural cycle of life, from the bud preparing for the bloom to the fruit that nourishes.
2) Some say it does not matter, but the fate of the fig tree shows that every action and inaction has consequence.
3) How we live our lives and treat others really does matter, as we will be judged by our fruits. We should love God, love our neighbors, be kind, forgive, and share with others.
Building-Bridges-v5
The document provides information about an environmental video contest for Armenian students in grades 3-5 hosted by the Armenia Tree Project. Students are invited to create a 2-3 minute video with their class showing an environmental action they took inspired by ATP, such as raising money to plant trees or starting a recycling program. Videos can be uploaded online by January 31st, 2015. One winning class from each grade will receive an iPad and National Geographic Kids subscription. The contest aims to inspire students to make a difference in their communities or Armenia.
ALL ABOUT SPRING
This document provides information about signs of spring through short passages and activities. It discusses seeing flowers, baby animals, and insects in spring. Children are encouraged to notice their five senses and journal about sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of spring. The document also includes images of spring flowers, birds, and animals commonly seen in Scotland during this season.
Apple orchard
The document describes a class field trip to an apple orchard where students learn about the lifecycle of apple trees and how apples grow. It discusses the four seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall) and how the apple trees change throughout the seasons. The class learns vocabulary words and then goes on a tractor ride to pick apples. They sample different varieties of apples and discuss which ones are sweet versus tart.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

- 1. The Little Apple Written by Mike Covell Illustrations by Jared Wehmeyer © Kids Sunday School Place, Inc. All Rights Reserved. www.kidssundayschool.com
- 2. The little apple clung tightly to the branch as a gentle breeze blew by. An older apple noticing the younger apple’s despair, chuckled and said, “Looks like you’re holding on to that branch for dear life little buddy.” The little apple glanced up at the older apple and said, “I am! I don’t want to fall to the ground. Don’t you know it’s hard and dusty down there? The ground is filled with worms and creepy crawling bugs. Why just take a look for yourself, can’t you see all the rotten apples down there?"
- 3. The older apple thought for a moment, and then replied, “I know you’re concerned about falling from the tree, but some good things have come from the ground.” “That’s not the life for me,” retorted the little apple, “I plan on being hand picked by a special family, taken to their home and placed into a beautiful fruit bowl. With my shiny red skin, I shall be the most delicious looking piece of fruit in the entire bowl!” The older apple gently replied, “There is much more to being an apple than just having shiny red skin.”
- 4. “Yes, I know!” the little apple quickly interrupted, “One of the children will probably take me to school for lunch or perhaps have me for a snack after school. He or she will know that I was more than just a beautiful apple with a shiny red peel, he or she will find out that my fruit is great tasting and healthy for him or her.” “Yes, yes, you could be all those things for a season,” the older apple tried to reply. But once again the little apple broke in, “Why, after he or she has finished eating the fruit, and all that is left is my core he or she will… will...“ The little apple's voice dropped, “will probably throw my core in the trash.”
- 5. “Yes,” replied the older apple, “That is what your life could be like, if you decide to live for the moment and choose to reap the quick rewards.” “Whatever do you mean? What other life is there?” asked the little apple. "I have been trying to tell you, if you’d just slow down for a moment and listen. The older apple calmly explained, "When the winds come, you may be shaken from the tree and fall to the ground. It is then that your shiny red skin will keep you from splitting apart and becoming applesauce. Once on the ground a hungry bird or squirrel may find you and carry you away from the base of the tree. Once you’ve met it's needs and filled it's stomach, it shall leave your core and a little fruit behind.”
- 6. “That doesn’t sound a bit better," the little apple screeched, "in fact it sounds worse!” “Please allow me to finish,” the older apple said sternly, ”Then your real work begins. Once you are left on the ground, the rest of your fruit shall slowly rot and blend into the ground. It is at this point that your seeds shall be buried into the earth. For a period of time the seeds will remain in the ground, but then ever so slowly something wonderful begins to happen. The seeds begin to sprout, breaking through the dirt. The sunlight and the rain help the sprout to grow into a small tree. Within a few seasons the tree shall grow big enough to start producing apples of its own. From then on the tree shall produce hundreds of apples each season.
- 7. "So you see, little apple, there is so much more you can be.” All the little apple could say was, “Wow!” As the winds picked up you could see both the apples swinging in the breeze hoping beyond hope to fall to the ground and begin their life’s work.
- 8. Our lives can be very much like the little apple's. We can choose to live only for the moment, fulfilling our own plans and desires. The plans we have for our lives may be good, but God always has a better plan for us, if we're patient, if we take the time, and if we listen to what He softly tells us. We can surround ourselves with many “things” to make us comfortable, but alas, these things only last for a season. Or we could use the time, talent and money God gives us for His purpose and glory. It is only then that we can reach our full potential.
