Dune Grass

I admire plants that survive and thrive in harsh conditions. They adapt, they push their roots deep, and they become an integral part of their environment. Where dune grass grows, you would never find a fern, a rose, or even a dandelion. But in the shifting sand and the salty ocean breeze, through days of storm or weeks of rain or months of dry summer sun, dune grass thrives, creates beauty, adds color, and provides a small amount of stability to the seashore's waves of sand.

You've probably never prayed with quite these words before, but may I suggest: "Lord, make me more like dune grass."
