I have shared this picture before. My husband took it when we were taking a walk. He saw a wish.

“Some see a weed, some see a wish.”
Unknown
Some see a weed, some see a wish.
It all depends on how you look at it.
Life is about glasses, and how we see through them.
They don’t have to be rose colored, but sometimes they can.
Sometimes those glasses show the test.
The test that we must go through to achieve our very best.
Some glasses are like a tea party.
Warm and it restores normality.
Other times those glasses are stark to bring us to reality.
Sometimes our weeds are indeed someone else’s wish.
Life is so much about perspective.
Sometimes our glasses cannot help us see that we are blessed.
Clean those glasses with love and thankfulness.
Spray some cleaner on them and dust off the mess.
Give it a little dose of reality to see what we need to see.
But remember dear readers, those glasses of life are there to help us see.
When the dust builds up and the lenses fill up with life fingerprints.
We feel around and can’t see at our best.
So remember friends when you can’t see your way.
Take a moment and clean those glasses, dust off those weeds.
If you still see those weeds, blow them off.
Make a wish.
So you can see those hopes and dreams.
When you were little did you run and grab the dandelions and blow them to make a wish? That was such a fond memory of my childhood. That was carried on through our six children and more recently with our little grand girl. To see her blow the little flower and scream when things flew off was nothing short of delightful. She took such joy in what some folks seem to believe is a weed. That is the grand thought about life. Sometimes things do not have to be grandiose and full of pomp and circumstance. Those blessings can sometimes be small. In each situation you can see a weed or a wish. We all have our quirks as humans. That is for sure but have our lenses become so cloudy and dirty that we can only see weeds and not wishes? Or further, the blessings that are indeed there? Perspective makes a huge difference in life. If you have looked at something one way for a long time and it keeps you thankful that is wonderful. Oftentimes we get dirty and muddled through the trials and tribulations of life. Sometimes you have to dust off those glasses that see nothing but weeds as far as the eye can see and try on a new perspective. A new pair of glasses if you will. Perhaps then you will be able to see just how many blessings of life. I often talk about growing up in the church. I thought that I had heard every hymn imagined. I can play a lot of them without music because they are so ingrained in my head. When I was in my 20’s I heard a hymn called, “Make me a Blessing.” The first stanza says, “Out of the highways and byways of life, many are weary and sad. Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife. Making the sorrowing glad. Make me a blessing,” Ira Wilson’s words caught me at that time. So much of life is carrying the sunshine where those dark glasses are dirty and making the sorrowful glad. Do you see weeds or wishes? Even if it starts out as a weed, blow the little dandelion and make it a wish. It is all through those glasses dear readers. Selah.
