Grass

You are like grass. I am like grass.

Even the Book says so:

All people are like grass…1 Peter 1:24 (NIV)

Ways that people are like grass:

  • Grass grows.
  • Grass needs to be looked after.
  • Grass produces more grass.
  • Grass is hungry for light.
  • Grass looks good. That’s part of its purpose.
  • A single blade is unimpressive. Grass is better in community.
  • Grass provides nourishment.
  • Faced with a barrier, grass doesn’t give up. See the way it opens up the cracks in pavements? With enough persistence, life can find a way.

Ways that people are not like grass:

  • Grass is green. Most people are not green.

Yes, I have an odd sense of humour.
