Creator God, Playful Spirit: let my faith have the simple confidence of a dandelion — content to smile like the sun when blooming, satisfied to be relocated & replanted by the wind in fading, unapologetic in taking root where it is not wanted or expected, brazen and stubborn in giving its own ordinary glory to God.

Thank you Rachel! And did you know that the dandelion is one of the few plants whose every part can be useful – blooms for fritters or wine, young leaves for spring’s first salads, and the root for medicinal healing of all kinds! What a wonderful prayer for an unappreciated gem!
