Election day.

This home is along a main road in our town. After several years of watching we see the same routine happening over and over again with these home owners. In the spring, the owners are outside planting and watering their raised garden beds. Within a few weeks the weeds have grown higher than their knees. The couple stands outside scratching their heads, wondering where to start the clean up because the weeds have become overwhelming. A few weeks after that it is obvious they have given up. The weeds have choked whatever lawn is left and the front door is hardly visible. The home owners had good intentions in the beginning of the year but thats not enough to get the weeds rooted out. By fall they will be outside with a weed eater gobbling up all green left in sight.
I feel sad for them and wonder why they do this year after year - work, become disappointed and overwhelmed, and then wack out everything that could of looked beautiful.
This year I came to the realization they probably don't care and have given up on their intentions. They actually drew attention to their weed infested home.
 When election promises and ads started to control the media, the home owners planted their Green party signs in the middle of the yard. They must of realized no one could see these bright green and yellow signs so the signs moved to the edge of the yard, almost on the road way.
 If the home owners had carried through on their intentions, the Green signs could of been placed in the middle of a beautiful garden. (That would of been a better advertisement!)


On this election day, we, along with all Canadians, will be watching who will govern this country. It is comforting to know God didn't just have good "intentions" for our country. He didn't create and then stand by, watching the weeds choke and overwhelm His creation. He creates, cares, and provides and He will continue to do this with whomever wins this election.
