Good Saturday morning! Many will have begun the Independence Day holiday as of yesterday evening. Travel, fireworks, picnics, time off from work, and I would hope that we will all spend some quiet time with the Lord. In looking at (and working on) the pond today, it just might be possible that the first batch of cattails will emerge today. A few Wal-mart water plants were planted or tossed into the pond this spring, so far one lily has emerged and one is trying, but the others have not shown any signs of life yet. Planted too deep, not deep enough, too much sun, hungry fish, who knows? The plants will grow or not at God's will, not mine. Some things we cannot do anything about and we leave them in God's capable and powerful hands. In this sin stained world not all plants will grow, and not all of us will thrive and prosper as the world counts such things. However, in Christ we thrive and prosper regardless of the condition of our bank account or health. We may not see the results of this growth until we emerge in heaven. There what seemed barren in this life may prove to be the brightest and most beautiful flower in eternity.
To God be the glory!
