A Blade of Grass Written by Johanna Jeffery Today in the earth, where a veil of darkness invisibly covers this worldI acknowledge that with as much as I have been blessed, I need to learn from the blade of grass, which humbly rests beside me. For I feel hurt, and cry, when people betray, or misunderstand me; Yet, the blade of grass stands with confidence, even though it is continually walked upon. They are delicate, yet strong. Isn’t this a miracle? Where is the strength I have been given? Why do I ignore the blessings of our Creator, rather than use them for my continuous endurance? Woman TEXAS FREDERICKSBURG Oh, Father, please let the blades of grass be for a reminder to me, as long as we breathe together. And may I walk daily with a new respect for the blades of grass, which appear to be sharp, yet are they soft under my feet. Thank you for opening my mind, my heart, and my eyes to Your everlasting wisdom. Please make me silent in the hours of temptationThat I may stand in innocence before Your Holy Throne, even as a blade of grass. 65 www.fbgwoman.com
