Weeds in Life

Last night I was pulling weeds in the flower beds in the front yard. Among the first I grabbed were stickers and and thorns. Youch! My hands were bloody...needless to say. So I grabbed my gloves. While wearing the gloves it was much more of a challenge to pull the weeds out. I couldn't get a good grip on them. It was really frustrating.

Like always, while I'm working in the yard, I got to thinking. Pulling weeds is like dealing with everyday life.

If you try to protect yourself from all the bad things, it's going to be a lot more difficult to get the job done. Sometimes life hurts. Some times you'll bleed...maybe alot. But if you hurt and bleed a little to get through the tough spots you'll be able to throughly enjoy the flowers.
