Grass Mentorship!
So I was out for a walk today and there I am in plus 30ish weather, hot, with a nice bottle of water (that was getting warmer every five minutes in the heat), just me, my music in my ears and nature. As i was walking my eyes began to look at the grass and how nice it can look at times, yet how annoying it is as well. I don't usually pay much attention to grass... if you do then you got too much time on your hands lol... but today it was as if God was using his creation to teach me something. I seen in the grass no longer a weak substance that does no good, but i seen a strong warrior who never gives up and likes to fight a little...
If you're thinking about never ever reading my blog again and that i've had too much time on my hands i assure you i'll justify that statement in a minute... The nature of a true warrior is to never quit, to never give up and keep fighting, even when things look dim... life brings it's ups and downs, it's very easy to become discouraged and quit when you feel defeated, as if you've failed, when you feel as if so much has been thrown at you! Our human nature's natural impulse is to quit... yet we can learn a lesson from the grass here....
... The grass grows and gets longer... heat and water intensify this effect... Yet we go over it all the time, just when its growing and getting taller, bigger, greener and feeling pretty good about itself, out comes the dreaded lawnmower and cuts it all down... trimming it back to it's "small", "defeated" form... But even with all this opposition, the grass still seems to always grow back, and always getting greener, and even though we cut it down, tear it down, even if it gets covered with snow for 6 months... it still starts over again and grows back... it never fails.. the grass will not quit and is persistent... and will always keep growing because it knows nothing else... as long as it's root is still in place it keeps doing it's thing... the only way to stop this is by removing it completely...
Life has it's hard times and awesome times... victories and failures... but in the midst of all this, i'd love to become more like the grass and instead of whinning, quiting, or possibly going on strike ... I wanna keep growing and growing and longing to become better for the sake of the Lord... It's interesting what the grass can teach us when we let it... Summer's coming to a close soon and I feel that i need to get a little more golfing in before it ends... Sorry grass, you're not exempted from this...
