Secrets of the Persimmon Seed

I just had to share this.  My family has done this for years and the persimmon seed has never been wrong.  If you cut open a persimmon seed, you will find the shape of one of three things:  a spoon, a fork, or a knife.  I guess some would consider this an old wive's tale, but for as long as we have opened up a persimmon seed it has never been wrong.  If there is the shape of a knife, it means a bitter cold winter; winds that cut through you like a knife.  If there is the shape of a fork, it means a hay-pitching winter, a mild winter.  If there is the shape of a spoon, it means a snow-shoveling winter.  Any guesses as to what was in the persimmon seed this year?  If you said spoon, then you would be right!  Isn't that amazing!  I love it when God shows Himself in creation!  If you don't believe me, google images of persimmon seeds and see for yourself.  Blessings!
