Surrounded

   

Sunday morning. On the porch. Sorting through a heap of emotions and thoughts, on everything but the One I came out to talk to.  It is not unusual for the thoughts in our head to quickly overtake us...quiet reflection on God, His Word and listening for His answers to questions in our spirits will be driven out by "thinking" and "talking to ourselves."  Have you found this to be true?  This morning, I needed Him...and found distractions! Easy to recognize, harder to stop!  But God sent a little reminder of His presence, glistening wings in the wet grass...a busy hummingbird...a friend connected virtually...a scripture and a song. It isn't hard to find Him...His presence surrounds. https://youtu.be/vx6mfAgHDsY

“The LORD your God is in your midst, A Warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with joy; He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins], He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.”‭‭  Zephaniah‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭AMP

37

37, a number. Three tens and 7 ones. If you are 7, 30 more seems ancient. If you are 37, you are thinking 7 was a lifetime ago.  37 years isn't all that long on the timeline of life, especially if the timeline reaches to 87 or beyond.  

I don't know much about the expected timeline of a houseplant, but I do know that a houseplant in my care usually has a short timeline! If one survives, it must be a hardy one!  Here is a picture of a survivor....it is 37 years old or let me say it this way, entered the Greer family timeline 37 years ago.  Let me explain.  

This plant was a bereavement gift from my momma's funeral.  Someone offering their condolences, sent a planter and it found its way home with Dad.  He did have a green thumb and cared for this plant.  Over the years it has flourished and nearly died, many times. Somehow, it ended up in my plant collection and has suffered the same pattern of ups and downs!  37 years ago, at the age of 50, my mom went to heaven.  Today, a legacy vine flourishes as does her memory.  

Know the difference. Acts 8:9-13

 

Scattered?
