Upon first glance, some may view these as weeds. But, alter our perception by looking a little further or deeper... and we can see this is a patch of vital “first foods,” for bees during the spring.
How many of us just go barreling through life... indiscriminately, tearing things out of our lives or tossing things aside or “out with the day’s trash,” before taking a closer look at perhaps multiple alternate uses, for objects in our lives or even people in our lives and how we could instead... guide them to the ones they need or who might need them or help them feel “of value?”
What if we treated everyone we meet as a learning child, Child of God?
What if we imagine them asking us to “Slow Down,” in the opposite scenario of Nichole Nordeman’s song is asking a growing child to slow down, for us?
Stop and consider one way you can embrace... “slowing down.”
