Have you ever seen kids in a field of dandelions on a sunny day?  Grab your cameras, folks—you’d think they had found a secret stash of chocolate-chip cookies!  Every spring, handfuls of the happy little flowers are ceremoniously presented to moms (and teachers), who scurry to find small jars or glasses for the bright offerings (then thankfully toss them at the end of the day).

As children of the Lord, we may sometimes need to get down at kid-level and take a different look.  Those pesky weeds, a result of sin, have an amazing brilliance, reminding us of Christ’s victory over that sin.  Our joy and thankfulness over that fact should be renewed daily, and should rival that of any kid with a fistful of dandelions.
