SATURDAY, April 25 Saint Mark
Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.”
Weeds are paved over because they aren’t flowers—worthless because they lack blooms. Yet even the weeds feel the electricity of God’s love in their roots and so believe their way by faith up through the cracks in the sidewalk.
Weeds push up toward the light with more concrete resolve than the sidewalk meant to crush it. Weeds don’t heed the voices telling them to stop. These weeds have more inner beauty than any rose that has ever opened its petals. The sun gives its light freely to the weeds, and the rain keeps them quenched.
Sometimes, I kneel down and touch the weeds. I feel their light pushing up through the pavement toward the sun, and I am encouraged to do the same. Thanks be to God.
MOVING FORWARD: Spend at least thirty minutes outside today.
