May at last--I love May. I’ve waited all year for this!
As I was weeding my garden for the first time in this new spring season, I noticed how the weeds flourish until something is done deliberately to stop them, yet the flowers—the good things, have to be purposefully nurtured. The bad things can totally choke the good things out without vigilance and care being taken.
Just as in life itself. If we don’t tend to the bad things and do something to stop them, they easily overrun the good things until they cannot flourish. Even within ourselves, we have to recognize the bad, hurtful and destructive things and keep them at bay to allow the good things to grow. |
