Everything is different. Everything is still the same.

Dandelions grow. Hubcaps fall off cars. People litter.

We still need the Lord. That is why we pray.

A weed grown tall.

Not valued, yet beautiful.

Like people. Too young or too old. Too poor or too prickly. Too . . .

But everyone is precious in God’s sight. Pray for one another (James 5:16).
