The Little Sunflower
Body
My wife had a small concrete area in our back yard where she fed the birds and sometimes that included sunflower seeds. I guess one of those seeds got blown off the concrete pad and fell into a crack in the dirt and sprouted. Anyway, we had one sunflower plant that was about two feet tall. I really did not think it would survive the dogs, lawnmower, weed eater or grandchildren but it did. I watched that plant very closely. I observed that in the early morning before the sun rose the plant was droopy looking, but when the sun came out, that changed. It seemed like the plant stretched upward as high as it could get and it faced toward the sun. The beautiful bright yellow petals were fully opened so as to get every bit of available sunlight. It seemed like that little plant lived just to see the sun or be in the sunlight everyday. Watching that little plant reminded me of a wonderful opportunity Christians have. Yes, we may have exposure to the sunlight but what is even better is exposure to the, (Sonlight). That is being in the presence of the living resurrected Christ. Everyone that has called upon the Son of God to be their personal Lord and Savior has this privilege and opportunity, (John 8:12, 12:35, 1 John 1:5-7). Let us bask in the, (Sonlight) daily, (1 John 1:3). See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J
