A flower is a weed seen through joyful eyes.
- jonathan lockwood huie
The virtue of anyone or anything is solely in our perspective. See gold, and there is gold; see lead and there is lead. If you see this thistle as a thorny nuisance, then it is a weed. If you appreciate its bright pink bloom, then it is a flower. It becomes what you name it. The power is in your choice, your perspective, your speaking.
I pulled some weeds today and cropped the pretty

and took a picture. All of a sudden, there was
beauty which made me think of our loving Creator. He sees this Beauty in all of us humans. He overlooks the weeds in us and we need
to do the same.

ReplyDeleteIt is indeed an inspirational quotation
ReplyDeleteMy grandson looks forward to the first bright , cheerful dandelions of spring. He excitedly picks a bouquet for me. He often asks why his daddy calls them weeds! If only we could view more of the beauty around us through the innocent eyes of our children!
