Im sure you see how this can also describe many of the people that shadow our life. There are those who maybe covered in tattoos , or piercings, maybe they have blue hair or a wild hair cut. Like the dandelion, this does not make them bad people Then you have the ones that look and sound "the part" All pulled together, saying all the right words but there are thorns under that pretty flower, touching them can cause a toxic reaction. This person may know the "Christian" language , and may acted like a Christian but rattle their world of make believe and you will see the other side, the thorns and the toxic reaction. People who praise God in once breath and curse you in another. These are the beautiful weeds we need to watch for, even work to remove them from our life. In Texas, we have many healthful weeds and we have many toxic weeds. I am learning which to avoid and which to embrace. We need to do the same with the people in our life.
