Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. I was attending my first photography workshop which happened to be close to home in Cades Cove. After our instruction session we were to go and photograph some of the buildings, but I have been to the cove many times and already had those pictures. So I started looking around for something else and this clump of dandelions caught my eye. As I looked closer at them I saw something I had never seen before. It was rather chilly that spring morning and there was frost on the dandelion. I didn’t have my macro lens so I just took the image with my zoom lens that was on my camera. When I looked at the picture on the back of my camera I was amazed - small crystals of ice clung to the seed head. I squealed with delight and the other participants came running to see what I had found.
Something so small that many people see as a weed was beautiful that day. At one time or another I think that all of us have felt that we have no value, that we are just a weed. We fear that we don’t matter. But our Father loves us. He knows us - what we are now and what he see we will become. Just like I saw the beauty in that weed, God sees the beauty in us. As we follow him we become more like him and more able to see the beauty in people and all creation. Prayer Good Father, In those times when I feel like a failure and doubt if anything I do is any good, remind me that you value even the smallest thing about me. Open my eyes to see the beauty in all you created. Amen
