Big anthuriums -- 11 inches long -- raised in a pot
I have to confess, God, that I am very pleased with these anthuriums. I didn’t even mind when Kit said, “They aren’t very bright” . . . thinking to himself — aren’t they supposed to be red?
But, of course, they are PERFECT. And all the more so because I grew them myself in a pot in our car port! Lots of water, dehydrated poultry manure, and voila!
Voila, indeed! I really hope, God, that You are ENJOYING Your Universe. That’s a funny thought. But I feel it MUST be true.
Enjoying seems so related to Loving — so intertwined with Appreciation and Gratitude. I mean, here I am enjoying these flowers — appreciating them with a caretakers heart. If I am doing that — What about YOU? You have created such an overwhelming variety — just even considering the hundreds and thousands of kinds of insects — not to mention the uncountable galaxies full of stars. It surely seems as if You must ENJOY it. Enjoy the creating. Enjoy what You have created. Enjoy helping us create. Enjoy us.
I like that thought. I am sitting here feeling pleased. I’ve grown up “knowing” You love us. Stumbling on this idea that YOU ENJOY US . . . feels like adding another dimension.
The Fruit (flowers? smile) of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF CONTROL. I have seen these as attributes that YOU long to grow in us. I have never thought of them as, perhaps, descriptors of YOUR NATURE. Please, GOD, help this thought keep on expanding.
Story teller,
A Moment with God
