Where Dandelions Multiply

Posted by anonymous on May 15, 2009 at 2:33 PM

I know one doesn't usually enthuse over dandelions, but have you seen them in BC?  They carpet public parks , fields and roadways. It's the colour that lifts you, That bright bold yellow. I really could only admire them. I thought of the times I had painstakingly rooted out those stalwart flowers, or are they weeds? from our lawn. "You're spoiling our lovely green carpet," I'd mutter. But were they? After all, yellow and green are very becoming together. But I suppose the green would eventually be gone completely. Now if we likened the number of people coming to faith to the number of dandelions out there, that woudn't be such a dismal situation. A carpet of pure yellow representing Christians in the community, tenaciously holding on and not letting go! And then sending forth more seed!

Hmm Food for thought Don't you think?


I'm smiling

Hello Mary,
What an uplifting piece -- and you say so much in so few words (unlike the long-winded moi)! You've raised my gaze.
Thank you, and God bless you.
Peter.

Dahdilions might be more like Christians than we think. I seem no matter what is done to get rid of them there are always some that keep growing.
If it weren't for dandilions in my lawn, I wouldn't have much green out there.

WE ARE WINNING the battle of dandelions. They would be nice if they didn't turn white so soon. The analogy of producing seed is good but just means more work downt he road.
