In the Eye of the Beholder.

In the Eye of the Beholder

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)
 “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.”


    I know that to many it is a nuisance, that burst of yellow that suddenly appears in Spring’s manicured lawn.  Yet, it pleases the eye and dashes winter’s chill.  Its blades nourish, and its stems while away childish hours becoming necklaces and baubles that delight the heart of a would-be princess.  A child’s purity of vision sees its beauty, treasures it and gathers it into bouquets that wilt in smudged fingers.
    As it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual. No matter what our situation; no matter what exasperation we cause others, God sees our beauty.  He fashions us into jewels and gathers us unto Himself so we can serve in nurturing others.  We are His “dandy lions.” 

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)
“He has made everything beautiful in its time.”


                                                     DANDELION    
    Dandelion,
    Often peeping through the snow--
    Crystals frosting saffron bloom and verdant blade,
    Your song bursts forth.
    Sing, Flower of Spring, sing.
