Flowers from Heaven
You’ve heard of manna from heaven and pennies from heaven, but I want to tell you about flowers from heaven.
Every morning when I look into the back yard it is covered with large yellow flowers; not year around of course, but this is the season. They have appeared daily for over a week now. You can look for their source and not see a thing. They appear from nowhere.
If you look closely, squinting into the sky, you can spot a few yellow blooms high in one of the trees in the yard. There is a tiny vine growing up the side of the tree which twines itself throughout the leaves and branches. From the ground they are almost invisible and certainly do not seem abundant. Yet everyday there are dozens of blooms decorating the grass.
This vine is not something I planted. Nor was it in the yard when I moved in. Some little bird probably dropped a seed and it fourished, protected by the large golden rain tree. Slowly it grew up the side of the tree and many times I thought about cutting it down, not knowing what it was. That would have been a loss.
There are many mentions of flowers in the scripture. God directed the builders of the tabernacle to decorate the fixtures with carvings of various flowers and plants. Obviously God loves flowers and He made them for us to enjoy.
The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, …Solomon 2:12
What a sweet little blessing and reminder of God’s presence and his desire to shower us with blessings.
I hope you will open your eyes for the blessings God sends. Share them with me if you like.
God Bless
Wallowing in the Goodness of God
Sorry for the gap in entries. Life has been full of STUFF. As usual, I’m reporting on the wonderful Blessings God mixes in with the stuff.
For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him Matthew 6:8
It’s really true that God knows our needs long before we do, and He doesn’t just sit idly by; He is constantly preparing for our needs.
Very shortly before Cancer struck me, I was introduced over the phone to a niece I didn’t know. We started talking and emailing. God was preparing us both for an opportunity to minister to each other.
When God acts, everything is ready. Recently, in the space of a week, seeming like a bolt of lightning, things fell into place and she came to visit/meet me. The details would fill a book, but suffice it to say that God is using us to benefit each other in wonderful ways. He is in control.
How comforting to know that God, out of His extraordinary love for us, is always thinking and preparing for us, although many times we are totally unaware. Of course the only way to benefit fron His goodness is to submit to His love and His will. Sounds scary and unnatural, but that is what He desires and His will is ALWAYS good.
O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You! Psalm 84:12
Hope your day is blessed.
