It's that time of year. Our plants have been moved to the deck along with our outdoor furniture. As I worked outside tonight, plans for more flowers and a trip to the greenhouse began to develop. I call it "dirt therapy" and I absolutely love the joy of watching, nurturing and observing the amazing miracle God has given us in nature.
Although it's a very small role in caring for His beautiful flowers, plants, trees and gardens, I am reminded of His faithful concern for us. He sees beauty before it is ever recognized by others. He sees potential growth long before it happens. He knows needs and meets them. In perfect timing, brilliant, fragrant, unmatchable loveliness unfolds and His powerful Presence is reflected once more.
May my life...and all of its awkward, imperfect, blemished appearance...someday, somehow...also become a reflection of His love, grace, mercy and hope. May each remaining moment I have be used by Him and for Him. May this very simple life become a totally surrendered vessel for the One Who knows me and loves me...anyway.♥~thl
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us a s a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5: 1>2
