Parable of a Mustard Seed
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. Matthew 13 31-32

Be fishers of men - you catch them - He'll clean them!

We are often so caught up in our destination, that we forget to appreciate the journey, especially the goodness of the people we meet along the way

Green is for the palms that they waved at Him as He entered into Jerusalem. Purple is for the wine He poured and blessed before he faced His final test. Red is for the precious blood He shed from the crown of thorns placed on His head. Black is for the sky as He died on the cross, suffering to redeem our loss.
