Psalm 128 shows us the Lord using a beautiful and vivid image to tell us about children brought up according to His Word: "Blessed is every man who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways! ... His sons are like olive plants..."

In this booklet, Allegra, deeply moved by this comparison between children and little seedlings, shares with us the results of her research into the formation and growth of olive trees, sharing with us some precious truths. In this way, the care and attention required for the proper growth of olive trees, their role and their fruit, are constantly compared with what believing parents can bring to their children, so that they become mature adults, loving the Lord and able to bear good fruit to His glory.
