Frosty Morning

This morning there was a very hard frost and my peony was suffering and bent over itself.... it saddened me because it would have had such beautiful flowers,   I love the colors.... the size... and the shape of them.

and I was hopeful that with the sun that it might perk back up.... maybe.... God willing....

Jay took me on a errand to look at a property for a client and then to breakfast....
on the way home I enjoyed watching a little Yorkie in a pink sweater, chasing
squirrels and birds in it's masters yard...  pretty flowers and flowering trees along
our route home... and the sun shining brightly on everything.

When we got home, my peony was perked back up.
It had a few burnt leaves and buds but was very much alive...

It wasn't focusing on the frost that hurt it... but reaching to welcome the sun, adoring, basking in it's warmth.

If we could do that... Live for the Son each day.... forgetting the about the trials and pains of the past.   Reaching for, seeking Him, living in the Light of His love and focusing on what He wants for us....

If we could remember that all of it (good and bad) is meant to glorify God the Father....

If we could do that... We would live in a world without resentment, anger, hatred, maliciousness, and fear.

It would be a world full of love, hope,
forgiveness, peace, and contentment.
