Observing the yards as I walked early this morning, I realized that most of the plants,mttrss, flowers were ready to bloom...the apple trees have tiny leaves, the blueberries and the flowering plums as well...the tulips are still in bud, the various iris are shooting up....even the dandelions are getting ready to bloom and send out their propagating seeds...getting ready to bloom...after a cold winters rest...show their brilliance and plumage to color the world around them...
And it will be spectacular!!! God, I think, loves color, light, growth...and we get to be the recipients of His wonders all around us...
Thank YOU....
There are times, I wonder if I am ready to bloom as well...there has been various seasons of life when I have been blooming and other times in dormancy...each has a purpose...rest, growth, rejuvenation, produce, harvest...each needful for the soul...as the roots grow deeper, get more grounding, more nourishment ...to later bloom...to glorify the Creator in whatever garden he plants me...
The old saying, "bloom wherever you are planted" comes to mind...."wherever" is key...in a garden for passersby to see or in a Secret garden...get ready to bloom...His glory...his mighty work...
Isaiah 35:1-2 The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, 2 it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God.
And the rest of Isaiah 35...
Genesis 2:9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Song of Songs 2:11-13a See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.....
