To Those Who Wait

I believe that many bright and special and valiant spirits have been saved for this challenging time.
I'm thinking about one bright little boy called Timmy.

Timmy had only two pennies in his pocket when he approached the farmer and pointed to a tomato hanging lusciously from a vine.

"Give you two cents for it," the boy offered.

"That kind brings a nickel," the farmer told him.

"This one?"
Timmy asked, pointing to a smaller, greener, and less tempting specimen.
The farmer nodded agreement.
"OK," said Timmy, and sealed the deal by placing his two pennies in the farmer's hand.
"I'll pick it up in about a week."

You young men could learn from Timmy, who invested two cents in a tomato that would be worth five cents in the future. If you are willing to invest now, you young men will have opportunities to accomplish as much as any generation that has ever lived.

I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
