The Sunflower

Our yard is set off of a highway in the country. We have a fairly long gravel drive way that circles in front of our house but we are still close enough to the road to hear all of the cars. So my parents decided to let it overgrow into woods. But right not it just looks like really tall weeds. It looks really bad. It looks like we don't mow our yard. But if you drive up the driveway you see that the rest is mowed! You just can't see that from the road. In the middle of our awful looking overgrown yard a sunflower has grown! A tall big beautiful sunflower! In the midst of all that ugly! I love it! It just inspires me! And no one planted it! It is beautiful! And the thought that somehow, some animal got a sunflower seed, put it in the very center of that yard, and it actually took and grew, just amazes me! It makes me feel that no matter how hard things get there is always something beautiful! It is like the silver lining! Or "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." Hebrews 13:5b. It just brings me peace!
