“Do not let the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord speak, saying, “The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the eunuch say, “Here I am, a dry tree.” For thus says the Lord: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me, and hold fast My covenant, Even to them I will give in My house And within My walls a place
and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. ”
Isaiah 56 :3-5

Dandelion Investigation
On a nice day, go on a dandelion investigation! Dandelions can grow almost anywhere so, hopefully, you will be able to find some good specimens to examine! (Grown-ups, you can do this too!) Here are some questions to help you think about what you see.
* 1. Where do you see dandelions growing? If they are on the lawn, how tall
are their stalks? If they are on the side of the road or in a meadow, how
tall are their stalks?
* 2. Look at a dandelion leaf? Why was the plant named “lion’s teeth”?
* 3. Dig up a dandelion root and then explain why this weed withstands
drought, and why the plant remains once it has been planted?
*4. Make notes on a certain dandelion plant 3 times a day. How long does it
take the dandelion head to open on a sunny morning? How long does it
stay open?
*5. After all the little flowers of a dandelion have blossomed, what happens to
it? How does the dandelion look after it opens again?
6. Look at a dandelion head full of seed. Shake or blow the seeds off. Do all
the seeds come off easily? Where do the seeds go?
7. Read Acts 8: 1-4. How is the dandelion like this story?
8. I wonder if you can think of any other ways the dandelion is a good picture
of the Church?
* These questions come from Handbook of Nature Study by Anna Botsford
