Thank you for that post. Boy, did I need to read something like that. My cleaning lady comes today and I get to go out for 4 hours. I planned on spending part of my time at a church in prayer....thanks again.
So nice thank you for that. Even if I do not "feel" God, and even when my faith is so shaky, I still cry out to Him.
The joyful note, when I see a plant that has struggled and struggled to bloom due to drought, and then the rain came, and then the beautiful rarity blossoms forth almost like it is having the last laugh. This is like a message from God, to me.
That is beautiful Coco. I always try to remember "God will never give us more then we can handle". Some days I am sure many of us feel like we are being pushed to the limit. Just do the best we all can..which is alot more then others have to face and less then some others. Also, I always say to my dh...."At least you don't have any pain". To me that is a blessing.
It was my magnolia. Silly tree blooms whenever it feels like it. I have a bloom in a bowl of water and my entire house smells lovely. Wish I could have your orchids. I am growing some-but they aren't as lush as you have.
oh....I was hoping you would say the magnolia. I imagine that tree will always be so special to you.
I inherited SO MANY orchid plants when a friend moved, at least 50 of them!! It was too much to transplant them all, so I just planted them in a hole of cinders and fibre, right in the lava flows and rocks in the yard. I did however keep them inside the fence as to be out of the wind.
This was a couple of years ago, and they are growing like crazy, and as each one has bloomed I get to see the different varieties. Who would have thought they would grow right in the rocks?
Perhaps...as to the title of this thread, God was waiting for those orchids to be given to me, to care for. What an honor. And the magnolia, He may have seen your sad heart.
redbud73086. thanks for sharing. With God it is never only asking and seeking. If we ask, it will be given. If we seek, we will find. He always hears and He always answers. We only have to trust and believe. I couldn't make it one day dealing with AD if I had no faith.
Especially over the last- I was going to say few, but now realize it has already been six years ( since H's dx) I have often felt God has turned away from me.
Following my best friend's death almost nine years ago I was sent this sign, about a week after: a female cardinal, not heard of in this area. Flitted around the backyard feeder area. The night H was transported to the hospital last week I went into the side yard, looked into the sky and saw a shooting star.
