For example, we have recently had our grass destroyed by ferocious, white, evil, little grubs. The grubs have enjoyed my entire backyard as their own little 24 hr buffet. For most people I would imagine this might not be such a bad gig, since it would reduce the times they would have to mow. Although for me, I really enjoy and take a lot of pride in having a nice, lush, green yard. I don't necessarily like to mow, but I do like being outside and doing little landscaping projects.
So now when I look out my window and see this:
it is quite disconcerting. These pesky grubs have once again revealed my ugly tendency to attempt to gain my worth from worthless things. Why oh why do I do this? Will I ever come to a place where I am able to get my identity from Christ alone? From my health to my lawn, I have learned that just about everything is here today and gone tomorrow. God Almighty and His kingdom are the only things that are worth holding onto.

Oh my precious, second-born son, How right you are.....and how like me you are in some ways. It is so hard to settle for imperfection and ugly dead yards when we long for perfection in our beautiful, green lawns and other temporal things. Thank you for the reminder to look to the Lord and His kingdom. You have a beautiful writing style that I look so forward to reading regularly.
Through a few motherly tears,
Mom
