Fathers and mothers, teach your children of the wonder-working power of God. His power is manifest in every plant, in every tree that bears fruit. Take the children into the garden and explain to them how He causes the seed to grow. The farmer plows his land and sows the seed, but he cannot make the seed grow. He must depend upon God to do that which no human power can do. The Lord puts His own Spirit into the seed, causing it to spring into life. Under His care the germ breaks through the case enclosing it and springs up to develop and bear fruit. {8T 326.4}

Fædre og mødre, lær jeres børn om Guds underfulde magt. Hans magt viser sig i enhver plante, i ethvert træ der bærer frugter. Tag børnene ud i have og forklar dem hvordan han får frøene til at gro. Landmanden pløjer sit land og sår frø, men han kan ikke få frøene til at gro. Han må være afhængig af, at Gud gør det arbejde, som intet menneske kan. Herren lægger sin egen sjæl ind i frøene og får liv i dem. Under hans omsorg bryder spiren gennem det hylster der omslutter den og springer op for at udvikle og bære frugt.
