from Lilias Trotter(parables of the Christ life)

"Stoop down and look into that withered grass,and a whole new world of God's handiwork will come into view in the burnt up tangle.For of all the growing things out here,the seed-vessels are among the most wonderful.Even little insignificant plants that would hardly catch your eye when in flower,develop forms of quaint beauty as the capsules ripen.And now that is all finished,they lie stored with vitality in the midst of seeming loss around."

What a picture of the seed that God created to foster new life in the fullness of time!

"the fullness of time" is a wonderful phrase because it speaks of waiting. So much of life is waiting....we go to bed and sleep to wait for the morning...we rise in the morning and wait for:breakfast,coffee to perk,for hot water in the shower,etc. I think if not for the times of waiting we would probably burn up our"batteries"---does that make sense to you?
