Dear Friends,
Finally things are sprouting and we have had two sunny days in a row!!! I've got color popping up here now! I will have lots of new things to discover in the garden during the coming days.
The flower that you see in the picture today is the same plant that I use for the border picture, only that one is when this silver dollar plant goes to seed! It's so unique and nice to have it blooming early in the spring! The seeds drop and I usually have them sprout in a lot of haphazard places.
Rejoice! Always! That sounds good when things are bright like a sunny day filled with sweet scents and bright colors! Tomorrow and actually the rest of the week is forecast to be cloudy, and stormy. I know myself well enough to realize that I need to be alert to the fact that the weather does not need to control me. I can rejoice in the Lord, even on a stormy day! I confess, I do have a hard time when I don't have the right weather to be outdoors.
Romans 8:39
"No power in the sky above or in the earth below--indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
When the sun shines brightly and we look closely at a flower, we notice the intricate design and details that God created. My thoughts return to Him and I remember His love for us and how He cared enough to fill His creation with things like the silver dollar plant for our enjoyment!
Hosea 6:3
"Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know Him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring."
