Every spring without fail, I always scout out and purchase Kimberly Queen ferns to put in my front porch urns. I love how their stems stand erect and they gracefully fall over the sides of my urns. I start out faithfully watering them, keeping them lush and green…….then the dog days of summer hit, and by late August they are slowly curling up in a slow agonizing death.

Even in something I initially saw as a nuisance, we can see beauty. We see repetition everywhere in nature and throughout our daily life as we exercise our faith reminding me that there are some things we can even learn from the weeds of life.
