I am a beautiful dandelion


Over the past week Wrigley and Maddux have been bringing me a bunch of dandelions....they want me to put them in water and sit them out in the kitchen for all to see. To them the dandelions are beautiful flowers not weeds. I have heard many people complain about dandelions....they can take over a yard but you have to admit that they are kind of pretty. I was thinking about my relationship with God and how it fits into the story about the dandelions. Sometimes in my life I have felt like a weed....forgetting how beautiful I could be. But God has always seen me as so much more than a weed....in him I am a beautiful flower. God made us to have free will so in some ways we are all weeds...with things in our lives that we cannot change, circumstances that have damaged our souls. But God sees us all as beautiful flowers. In him I am gorgeous both inside and out! So next time you see a simple little dandelion think about how God sees you....the way he sees me. I will never look at a yard full of dandelions the same!
