For you to see my point in this pic, let me explain. 

Our sunflowers are spindly. More than I think they should be. Anyway a week or more ago I noticed one had fallen over; it had a pretty severe bend in its stalk but I decided to leave it rather than pull it up. Good move! :)

Notice its fall was cushioned by a friend. And notice too if you will, resting there with its friend, it began reaching for the sun. It’s green again, putting on leaves and I believe it just may bloom!

I see two parallels, perhaps you see others.

One. When we fall down, look to the Son right where we are and begin to grow again. 

Two.  Be a friend. Comfort the fallen. Lend them strength. Encourage them in JESUS. Help them look up and begin to grow again.  And won’t you be so blessed when they bloom?! 

Ecclesiastes 4:10  (NIV) ¹⁰ If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. source
