Consider the flowers

Where do you go when you need to reset? 

For me, I need a garden. There my soul rests, my spirit soars and equilibrium is restored. The flowers recalibrate my perspective, reminding me to quit worrying and know that my heavenly Father has it covered.
  
 “Has anyone by fussing before the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? If fussing can’t even do that, why fuss at all? Walk into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They don’t fuss with their appearance—but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. If God gives such attention to the wildflowers, most of them never even seen, don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you?"  (Luke 12 v25-28 The Message)

I took these photos of flowers over the last couple of years. They've become Ebeneezers for me - reminders that thus far, the Lord has helped me. The flowers call me to faith that today and tomorrow the Lord will help me again.

Saturday Digest- June 6th

(A) The Beloved is on a silent retreat this weekend so it's me and Miss O against the world - there will be little silence for me!

We'll be rocking out to:
> Here comes the girls - watch out boys.

> Me and My Shadow - a Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr classic.

> I really love to dance - egg shaker, tambourine and drum will be in full use.
 
(B) In a proud moment this week, Forbes highlighted that our dear friends Matt and Laura Davis continue to play their part in the transformation of Ethiopia:

(C) Our garden is showing off  so I'm looking forward to spending some time enjoying the fruit of my labor. 







Have a great weekend friends! Dream big, dance freely and don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
