Which will it be?

In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.
(Job 12:10)


A couple of weeks ago, this hardy little plant growing out of a crack in the road caught my eye.

It's across from our dumpster, so whenever I take out my trash, I check to see how it's doing.



Our property manager saw me taking pictures of it, and came over to tell me it was just a weed that needed to be pulled out.  The landscapers would get rid of it next time they stopped by.




They came the next day, and my heart sank as I watched them unload their truck, and heard the familiar roar of mowers and weed wackers starting up.














This morning as I walked to the dumpster, camera in hand, I wondered what I would see. Would it be a scene entitled Cut Down in its Prime, or would it be a Saved by a Miracle one?

By God's grace, it was the latter. Maybe its buds will get a chance to bloom?

Out and About

Sing to the LORD with grateful praise; make music

to our God on the harp. He covers the sky with 

clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes 

grass grow on the hills. He provides food for the 

cattle and for the young ravens when they call.

(Psalm 147:7-9)



After a few tentative hops in and out of the nest, and much flapping of wings, the fledglings are now out and about.

Spring Colors - 2019

For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. 
The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing
has come, And the voice of the turtledove is heard in 
our land. -- (Song of Solomon 2:11-12)
