Weeds & Sunshine

Over the course of the about a month we have received a good amount of rainfall here. This has led to the problem of weeds growing like crazy. At work there is a good patch of the vile, ugly things, but something about them caught my eye the other day. I noticed that as the sun rises and sets, the leaves turn and face the sun, tracking it to pull in the most amount of sunshine that it can. I sat and wondered about how this unlovable plant does its best to always face the sun. How much so in our own lives should we be attentive to the Son, Jesus Christ. Our lives have to hold more meaning for God than a weed, yet how often do we forgot to track Him down and stay focused on Him? The weed has been hardwired to focus on that light for growth, we as Christians need to focus on His light to also experience growth.
