Wheat And Weeds
Do you sometimes feel like a weed that does not fit in, is not wanted, nor belongs in the wheat world around you? Well, Barbara Brown Taylor, in one of her stories sees a place for wheat and weeds to serve one another. Let the wheat and weeds grow together. When the reapers come along, they gather the wheat to bake bread. The weeds are then gathered and made into bricks for the oven that will bake the bread. Everyone gathers together to enjoy the fresh baked bread, thanks to the weeds that baked it. No one is useless. Everyone belongs. We all need one another. And don't be labeling yourself. We are all shining like the sun, but many of us don't know it or see it in ourselves and in one another.

I love this way of seeing the weeds and wheat. We all have our purpose and belong together.We all serve life in different ways but all are necessary to make the whole.
