How well I remember dear Jane Knudtson sharing about saxafrag.....rock breakers.....when we would take nature hikes in Colorado years ago. Plants which literally broke rock and hung on in order to live..... and in doing so, they paved the way for other vegetation to follow.
I saw this pictured time and again in the ancient walls of Jerusalem. I am inspired by these tenacious flora. How they picture acts of kindness and their effects on a hardened life or heart! Having the courage to take root and hold on in love to another whose life may be hardened due to their own actions or those of others.
By planting a small bit of hope, love, or kindness within a wounded soul, true Life is given a chance to break forth. May I become such a bit of life for any that God may place in my path. May I be faithful, Lord, with the Life you have so graciously given me.
