Nature, it seems is intent on teaching me a lesson lately. No matter how crazy things get, or how busy we make ourselves, the grass continues to grow. Pretty inconsiderate of it if you ask me. I have tried to explain to the grass that it can take a break. That it would be much better for all concerned if it would even just slow down. The grass however, is singularly unmoved by my expostulation and continues reaching for the sun. Even after the 56" deck of my Craftsman lawn tractor lays waste to 2 weeks of tireless effort on the part of the lawn, the grass is unperturbed, and fearlessly continues to rise up, often stronger for having been cut down so many times.
This is my lesson, no matter how often I am cut down in this life, (we wont even get into what the dog does out there), I must endeavor to persevere. Keep reaching for the sunlight. Life will ALWAYS come back and cut me down again. It does not matter how many times one goes down. What matters is how many times one gets back up again. My answer? At least once more, as always....
People have often used the phrase "as boring as watching the grass grow". I only wish I could take the time to do just that. Be blessed.
