There’s just something so precious about a child gathering a handful of dandelions and presenting them with shining eyes and a shy grin, isn’t there? Of course, it’s the pure motives and sincere desire to please me that melt my heart every time…not the yellow weeds. And with the first gift of dandelions every spring I am reminded of a simple, yet profound truth: that pretty much everything that I can offer to my Creator is like a dandelion – a weed – and not really of any worth at all to Him unless it is given with a sincere and loving heart.
Isn’t it incredible the lessons children can teach us? I’d love to hear a lesson you’ve learned from a child/ren in your life lately.

No lessons, just wanted to say thanks for yours. What a profound thought. Thanks for sharing.

There’s nothing that touches a mother’s heart like dandelions. thanks for the words of wisdom, and thank Noah for the dandelions, I’m sure everyone that looks at that picture will think ‘they were picked just for me’.
