Where The Green Grass Grows

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence... maybe not.

I have been spending a lot of time on my front yard lately. I put in new flower beds, installed landscaping rocks around the beds, trimmed limbs so that more sunlight would come in, and have been actually watering my grass daily. From the street, my yard has always looked green and fine. However on closer inspection, you would have found that some of the green was actually weeds and there were quite a few bare spots. Now just rain alone several times a month does my yard just fine, but I have learned that watering it daily really brings out the growth. My grass is now overtaking the bare spots and the weeds. My yard looks healthy and my neighbors have taken notice of the change.

It's kind of funny, but my life has been the same way. I am sure that I seemed fine, but I too was full of weeds and bare spots. I got my spiritual watering each Sunday at church, but after a few days into the week I was drying up again. Then it hit me. Why not water myself daily with the Word. I am amazed at the change. I am overpowering my weeds and filling in my bare spots, and people have taken notice of my change.

I have decided that I want to live where the green grass grows.

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs toward the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows

Steady growth is... on this cowboys mind.
