Heaven’s store

A woman had a dream in which she wandered into a shop at the mall and found (God) behind a counter.

He said to her, “You can have anything your heart desires.”

Astounded, but pleased, she began to list all kinds of wonderful things she wished for immediately — peace and love and happiness, and so on. 

(God) smiled at her and said, “I think you misunderstand Me. We don’t sell fruits, only seeds.”

Stamps with seeds

On Feb.26, 2011,  to commemorate “Stamp Day” dedicated to the Earth, France issued a set of 10 stamps with the theme “Seeds of France” together with real seeds for five of them! 

The self-adhesive set of 10 stamps was printed on 100 percent FSC recycled paper. Five of the stamps even come with the corresponding seeds for planting.

Seeds of lavandar, anthemis tinctoria, coquelicot, basil and arbre a papillons are featured on the miniature sheet issued by the French Post to commemorate the flowers of summer.
