Getting Dirty

 Beautiful Flowers

I came across a lovely quote the other day

"Every flower must grow through the dirt"

It got me thinking on how many of us resist getting dirty or just rolling around in the mud.  We are part of the earth and come to think of it everything that we need to survive comes from the dirt.  The plants, flowers, crops, animals are all dependent on the soil.  

And of course the struggle of the flower toiling away in the dark damp dirt yearning and striving to reach and ultimately be born in the golden sunlight, is similar to our journey from darkness to Light. 

We are born in darkness emerging from our mother's womb into our first light of day.  From there we take take our first blessed breath and begin our journey of life. Throughout our lives we will be knocked down or knocked out but we get up and keep moving forward.  We all struggle at times but with God's help we will come through the dirt and blossom into the unique beautiful flowers we were meant to be. 

And just like the unsurpassed beauty of the lilies in the field, each of us has our own uniqueness, scent, and beauty to share.

God wants us to blossom and shine our beauty on the world. 

Let it be so. 

With Love,
