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).

The sunrises every day.

A daily reminder to pray with thanks to Jesus who rose from the dead, bringing light and life to all who believe.

I watched my grandpa pray. As I watched, I learned.
