The other day my mom was cleaning out in the backyard. My mom told me to come outside with her to hang out. As I was walking around the backyard I spotted these round curvy looking things on the grass. I am thinking it might be just dried up leaves and I am also thinking that those things like mushrooms. So out of curiosity I asked my mom what they were and my mom in a matter-of-fact way said those were mushrooms. I was so shocked because it is not meant to be there and also because I didn't know mushrooms could grow randomly in a person's backyard. Then I was grossed out for some what reason. And no my parents did not plant it there if you were wondering about that. I later asked my mom why she can't use it. She said that it might be poisonous.It is amazing how it can look like a regular mushroom but it is actually poisonous.
My point of the story is to say that our heart is like a backyard where you can grow anything that you want but sometimes in our hearts there could be poisonous mushrooms - things that we didn't know were there. Things that we discover later in life and realize that they were never supposed to be there. It can be bitterness, unforgiveness, or jealousy. It can look alright but you really have to dig out and see if it really good and useful. Do you have those poisonous mushrooms in your life? I know I do - a lot actually.Clean out your backyard (not the real one unless it is really messy )today and look for those things that are not supposed to be there because we all have things that aren't meant to be there.
