Scattered seed…

Romans 15:7 - Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

A few weeks ago I was surprised to see these yellow flowers on plants that I thought were my Maltese cross plants. The leaves look very similar to the Maltese cross plant, but I was both surprised and delighted to see an inflorescence of cup-like golden yellow flowers that added a splash of colour to the red and pinks in my garden. While I am disappointed that my Maltese cross plants did not come up this year, I gladly welcome the new flowers to my garden and hope they will stay forever.

Life brings new people into our lives, I suggest you welcome them with open arms for they always bring a new idea, a fresh perspective or joy into your life. Not all scattered seed are weeds!!!

The Canadian Geese are back…

After their winter migration, the Canadian geese are back to breed and have goslings. They nest in the marshes of the lake and are found in abundance in grassy lawns, parks and fields.

Psalm 34:22 - The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

Lilacs and Canadian sunsets…

These Canadian sights will put anyone in a joyous mood, lift your spirits and put a spring in your step. With over 30 degrees temperatures this weekend, people are out and about with caution. Thank you Lord for bringing us out of the dark days of lockdown, unscathed.

Exodus 14:21 - Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

Disconnect from the outside…

If you wish to disconnect from the outside world or declutter your mind, I suggest hiking or walking a trail. It brings your whole being and mind to a calm and tranquil state. It helps you be one with nature. It will change your perspective on silence. It is also an opportunity to contemplate life. Try it!

John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Two are better than one…

To friends and family who lift each other up. Each of us is better for the other. We build each other up by praying, sharing how God touches our lives and encouraging one another. You just never know how your sharing or words can touch another person.

Ecclesiastes 4:9 - Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
