I just read a blog from a friend who has had a pretty rough year. Apartment fire, mother dying, got married (not rough, but a huge change), and her ex committed suicide. Wow! And she keeps on keeping on.
She wrote about her little garden that she has been tending to this summer. Her hubby was irritated that she didn't pull each and every weed as soon as she could. One really caught her eye and she admired how it clung for life to the fence, and grew straight and tall. Her little weed now has one beautiful ear of corn on it.
Cynical people might be saying to themselves right now "volunteer corn? that can't taste good. Probably some weird hybrid or feed corn or nothing that a person ought to eat!"
Cynical people miss out on so much in life. Maybe her point is not to get something out of that feeds her stomach, but somehow it has already fed her spirit. And I think she was deservedly hungry.
