From a small seed a mighty trunk might grow ~ Aeschylus
The other day, a memory came to me as I stood in the line at the grocery store. I saw an elderly woman who had a beautiful silver watch on her wrist. It was unlike the kind of watch that you see in this day and age, and it reminded me of my Grandmother. Back in her day, watches were made like fine art – the work that went into crafting them was apparent.
My grandmother always wore a lovely watch with a little bauble that hung from it, just like in this image. What really intrigued me was the seed inside the bauble. I thought it was kind of intriguing but, I couldn’t imagine why would anyone carry around a seed hanging from their watch.
My grandmother told me it was a mustard seed but never told me of the seed’s significance. Perhaps it was just one of those things she wanted me to discover for myself as I grew up.
Did you know there is a full story behind the meaning of the mustard seed? Skip down to the third paragraph of the article, that really gets to the heart of the matter.

Oh my gosh, hadn’t thought of that mustard seed Grandmother always wore for a long time. Nice to know what the significance of it was after all these years! Interesting!
Jan – Didn’t it always intrique you? Remember how we used to ask Grandmother if we could see her watch and we would just look at that babble hanging off it with the mustard seed?
