As I was working outside pulling random weeds out of the "flowerbeds", I came across one of those awful weeds that has tons of prickly parts. I looked closely at it and found a place that I could grasp it in order to pick it.
There are times in our lives where something seems "iffy" or hurts you. Maybe everywhere we turn nothing seems good, maybe it's that there are several people around us that we have to tip toe around. I know for me sometimes I feel discouraged like I can't do anything right
Or that I'm not successful in something I thought I was good at....
In the past, I have been quick to just stick my hand down and pull the prickly weed hoping it doesn't hurt, but that's not the best approach. When I do this, I normally pull my hand back quickly because I've been stuck and it hurts.
This weed reminded me that sometimes we have to stop or step back and examine the situation or people and decide how we want to handle it. Don't rush or jump into action before thinking how you want to handle the situation.
Just a little thought....
