I’ve passed this scraggly little rubber rabbitbrush
nearly every day on my morning walks or irrigation rounds. I’ve never given it
a second look until a few days ago when I saw that it was blooming! All of its
other rabbitbrush friends and relatives started blooming in August and have
long since gone to seed. I don’t know what this little shrub had to overcome
that the others didn’t. Maybe its roots were assaulted by a bug, maybe someone
ran over it, or maybe the dog peed on it one too many times—I don’t know. But
it persisted and overcame, and even though the mercury plunges below freezing
every night, it’s blooming bravely!
“Do not let
yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” ROMANS 12:21
