push

Yesterday afternoon I was sitting on the front porch watching the kids play. In the garden to my left, I noticed a piece of moss sitting at an odd angle. I got down on my knees right there in the dirt so I could give it a closer inspection. Underneath the moss were three little tulips pushing the moss aside on their way towards the light.

Isn’t life a lot like that? Sometimes, before we can grow to our full height, we need to push large obstacles out of our way. Just like those tulips, we can’t do it on our own. We need to stand with our community and do it together. And when that big piece of moss finally falls to the side, the sunshine feels so good, doesn’t it?

Happy weekend! Go find some sun.
