I've always thought there is something spiritual about gardening - almost like the task of working the earth, planting the seed, and then nurturing it is a microcosm of what God does with us. Thank you :-)

That's so true, but we have also to uproot the weeds. Looks like most of us are doing nothing about that.

Yes, that's a good point. However, this is where the literal and figurative part ways. To weed a garden, you simply pull out the weed and discard it. To uproot a human weed, you must change the person from a weed to something of substance. So the question becomes what is the best way to change the people who are the weeds of our society? I would say to lead by example - show the weeds how much greener the grass is on the other side of the fence of morality, and convince them to change their ways. Just thinking out loud...

I am enjoying this discussion, and the tangents it has branched off to.

Everyone is a beautiful flower, but some just don't know it... yet.

You don't have to change anyone...or pull any weeds... just change yourself. The weeds in your world will bloom into those glorious flowers... or whatever else it is that you prefer they change into. There is only your world to tend. I mean this literally.

Thank you for contributing :-)

I never meant that we should try to change anyone else, but that our examples would inspire them to change themselves.
