Picture of a weed with the roots or an actual plant with roots and gardening gloves
It may surprise you that I have my gardening gloves on today as it isn't the time of year for growing things. But today I want to talk about gardening or growing things in our hearts. Just as in a garden you grow beautiful things but you also grow ugly things called "weeds." Has anyone ever pulled weeds out of a garden? It is easy to just cut the weeds but if you really want to get rid of them for good you have to pull them out by their roots. (Show picture or the actual roots.) If you don't, they will just keep coming back.
