Thankful For The Weeds

While I was waiting for my daughter to get home on the school bus I saw that the weeds had grown up quite tall around the bushes in the front of my house. I do not use the front door much, so it is easy for things to change out there without my noticing. I decided to pull some weeds while I waited. There were a lot, and I started to think of just how many there were. Then it occured to me that not only were the weeds mine, but so was the house just behind them.

Suddenly the weeds didn’t seem so bad. My God had provided a place more me and my family to live safely. So what if there were a few weeds. I guess life is kind of like that too.

Prayer
Father, thank You for giving us good things in life that we need. Thank You for the food, the clothes, the place to sleep that you provide. Thank You for those we see every day, and for being a part of each others’ lives. In Jesus name. Amen.
