Sunshines

On Sunday I saw the first one.
I thought to myself, "how fun!"
It reminded me of when I was young.

Monday I did not see a one
as we had an all-day rain storm.
We needed the rain more than sun.

Tuesday I saw a few.  I could count one plus one.
They looked like little smiley faces, little suns.
I told someone about them when I talked on the phone.

Wednesday I wasn't at home.
Didn't pay any attention.
I had spent the day on the run.

Thursday I thought, "where did they all come from?"
They were seen in the grass, the beds, the garden.
I needed to start removing one by one.

Friday more yellow than green did abound.
How come one was fun, but more was wrong?
It looks like they'll add up to a ton.

Saturday they were finally mowed to the ground.
Green grass appeared for a few minutes when done
before they popped up again, these little yellow suns.

Little yellow sun shines in the grass are dandelions.
Irregardless of what you might think, they can be fun.
What are your thoughts about dandelions?  Work or fun?

The Victorian meaning of dandelion is faithfulness.
Every time I see one I'm reminded of God's faithfulness.
So to see an dandelion has become a blessing
as God daily bestows me with many blessings.

Perhaps we should view dandelions as our blessings.
We can never have too many of God's good blessings.
For each dandelion write down a blessing
to put in a glass jar you've labeled "blessings."

It will be reminder when life is confusing
and you are prone to give in to stressings from testings.
The reminder jar will keep you from stressing
during the times you're experiencing testings.

Instead of living in much strife and guessing,
you can review your blessings and be resting
in God's promises - His many blessings,
for everyday we receive more blessings.

The blessing of the Lord brings wealth,
and he adds no trouble to it.
Proverbs 10:22
