Defense of the Dandelions

...Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: (Matthew 6:28)

Would you spend all day using some fork with a wooden handle plucking up the flowers in this picture and throwing them in a heap?

After all they are "Wild" flowers!

Or perhaps fill your hand pump sprayer with herbicide and spray all of these flowers?

Would you do it at the request of a neighbor,

...afraid that all of the seeds from these beautiful flowers would perhaps spread to their yard?

If this were your backyard, would the yellow flowers bother you now?

How about now?

The Lilies of the Field right in your own back yard …and front yard …and side yards.

With simplistic strength their yellow buds stretch heaven-ward. Ever so quickly reaching toward the sun, establishing their presence almost under the cover of darkness, for upon the rising of the sun on a spring morning there they are!

Dandelion - (Noun) - a wild plant with yellow rayed flowers and deeply notched leaves [Old French dent de lion, tooth of a lion, referring to its leaves.]

Miniture Mums for Mom's. However usually only accepted when presented by a child.

Please consider these ideas as you build your testimony and love of Dandelions.

Children love them, so how can you resist? .. Now this is not all; little children do have words given unto them many times, which confound the wise and the learned.

Spreading the joy.

Ziggy has the idea.

The Worth of Weeds

By Riley M. Lorimer
New Era » 2007 » May

It's simple. In fact it's one of those things you learn in Kindergarten.

An even better read - that's fun to say - Robert Fulgham's book

"All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" pp. 67-69

When you see those Dandelion's think of me. I'm just a weed!

Super Heroes

The straining rays of a mid-winter’s sun have all too suddenly faded into the dark of this cold winter’s night. I have retreated to the warmth and comfort of the couch with a plate of fresh baked brownies and a glass of milk. (A favorite method for detoxification from the stresses of the day.) Actions urgently prompted by my polished, heat seeking, bald head which has suddenly and instinctively alerted me to the threatening, piercing coldness out of doors.

However, like dew drops on the grass in the morning sun

these feelings of comfort vaporized as the evening news announced another home invasion with armed masked men, a story of a young girl robbed at gunpoint, and a shootout between rivaling gang members; followed by death, despair, and the onslaught of injustices. Horrible thoughts etched on the silver screen of my mind in the split-second timing they take to cross a mere few thousand brain cells, leaving their distasteful trails of memory to sleep upon. Added to this, many have heard me express, at the observance of impatient, inconsiderate, law breaking, life threatening drivers on the roads (that never seem to get caught), “I wish I was a Cop!”

You may now understand my plea – I need a Hero! A Super Hero! Not Batman! Not Superman! (Super heroes that were seduced.) Even Spiddy got tangled up in his own webs now and then. (Three super shows I’ve not seen, I might add.) The Super Hero family “The Incredibles” comes as close as I can imagine. But where are they today?! I think most of you would agree that the day we live in is indeed a perilous time. Don’t retreat to the couch as I did but take hope and comfort in what I am about to introduce to you, a Super Hero for our day!

I give you…………

“GREEN LIPS” – the Visible.

“GREEN LIPS” – the Approachable, While he has not yet discovered what his Super Powers are, he is THERE for you! Stay tuned for further developments……
