Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
It is early. It is dark. I believe this is why I retired…because this is rough. I have gotten spoiled. Haha. Coffee is hot and delicious. We will be fine.
The other day, while walking the dog, I noticed that my grass was full and thick. Absolutely beautiful. I also noticed that my yard was very much infused with dandelions. You know … the child’s favorite flower. The precious yellow bloom was poking up throughout the yard. Beside and complementing the famous child’s flower, were the purple violets of adorning fashion. Rippled and comingling in harmony while covering my front yard. My childhood came booming back.
I am not sure when I learned that the dandelion was not a flower but considered a weed and something to get rid of, but they have always been a beacon of spring for me. A beacon of change. Even as spring closes and the dandelions turn into white seedlings to be scattered by the wind, they are beautiful.
As I gazed upon the color in my yard, a thought came to mind. The yard is the world. The vast land of life. The green of the field portrays the world in which we live. Huge. Vast. Enormous. Green blades of grass represent all the people that we could potentially engage with. We are the dandelion. We are the bright yellow in a sea of green. We give beauty to an otherwise dense field. The violets are our partners. Adding to the diversity of the field and bringing their own song for His glory.
The world would have us extricated or removed so that our seeds could not spread any further. The world calls us weeds that are an infestation of their peace or version of peace. The world says that we are the poison that is killing them. The world will make us out to be dangerous. And they are right. We are dangerous. We bring color. We bring joy. We bring light. We bring truth. We blow in the wind and spread our seeds throughout the yard, and come back multiplied the next spring. Though we may only be in this season for a short time, we bring His peace, His joy, His truth, His Love, and the world does not like it.
Today, I want to encourage you to be a dandelion. I want you to be a bright, inviting, childish, joyful, and loving dandelion to sea of monotonous green full of dread and despair. Brighten someone’s day today by simply being you.
Be blessed.
**Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love. – 2 John 3
