As I was pulling them I was thinking how similar they are to every wicked thing in our lives.
We don't intentionally plant them yet they grow as though they have been cultivated in a greenhouse. They grow in the areas where nothing else would grow.
I never find roses sprouting up in the lawn plated by the birds.
Never
the roses I have to baby and prune and spray and labor over just to get a rose that is wonderful.
The weeds, ignore and they get to be the size of house in two months.
Just like life.
any good characteristic is hard won.
Bad habits are cultivated by doing nothing.
To do anything good you have to work and work and work to make it establish as a permanent thing.
You have to be a fighter.
always fight.
or the weeds will win every every every time.

How true - and the fact that you can see lawns (Like Tam's) that have fewer weeds, but it is because she works so hard ALL THE TIME keeping those weeds out. The people who have no weeds in there yard, have no weeds because they work hard - not because they are good people.
Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes you think that some people just have it easy, but really we all have our weeds to deal with.
