Meadow

I am a meadow. A meadow has green grass, flowers, and it is mostly flat ground. There are a few prickers though. It is sunny and warm weather. Close by, a pretty butterfly fluttered in the wind. I have not been through many hard things in my life, that is why I have chosen it. God has blessed me with a great family, a nice school, and good friends. I am so grateful that He gave me what I have.

The prickers in the meadow represent hard things. There have been a few hard things in my life. It was hard when my great grandpa and grandma died. When we were visiting my grandma and grandpa, my grandma was supposed to ride home with me and my brother on the plane. She got a call from her brother saying that her mom was getting more sick. She had a blood infection. My grandma told us she would not be able to ride home with us. A few weeks later my great grandma died. After we got home, we had to start packing to leave to go back again. It was hard to see my grandma go through this hard time. It was also hard when my great grandpa died. He died before my great grandma. He was really nice and always smiling. Through hard times, I still try to trust God because I know he has a plan for me.

The flowers represent all the good things in my life. I am so grateful to be able to go to a Christian school. I sometimes forget how lucky I am. Another thing I am thankful for is living in the U.S. I do not think how blessed I am to be able to live in a country with safety, without poverty, and tons of crime. Finally, I am thankful for great family and friends. I am so privilaged to have people who care about me so much. I thank God for blessing me, even though most of the time I take it for granted.

The flat ground represents that God will always help me keep going through life by either holding me steady, or being steady himself. I trust he will never abandon me. This means that through the many hard trials I know I may face through life, I know God will always be by my side; even when I can’t see him there in human form, I can feel him there.
