When I was a young boy, I noticed this plant that would appear year around February. It made up of what I believed were hundreds of little hearts. I thought God made it for me because my Birthday was in February and what's more, it was on Valentine's Day. Every year I would look for them, as if God were saying Happy Birthday. Even into adulthood, I'd see these plants with hundreds of hearts and feel a fond affection for my Creator and marvel at His attention to detail. Then I was told by a "well-meaning" friend that those are not hearts, the plant is called Sheppard's Purse, and it also grew in January as well, so it couldn't have been for my Birthday. I lovingly told my "well-meaning" friend where they could stick their "fun fact". I also told them that they are actually hearts, that Jesus loves me, and I think I'm His favorite.
