Simply Amazing

It is simply amazing that there are green things in my yard on November third. Not only are there living greenery but these little guys are still blooming. I admit they must be hardy plants as we have had some heavy frost but to have anything at all blooming in November is stunning.



It is like God put his hands around these guys and caused the fragile to defy all odds and survive. These flowers lift my spirits. These flowers remind me that nothing is impossible for God. Sometimes I feel very fragile and that if I get hit with any more frost, I will shatter into a thousand pieces, then I am reminded that God does have his hands around me. He is protecting me from the frost. He lifts my head. He walks with me in the dark places. He holds my hand. I feel his presence. His smile is beautiful.


The Kinsmen phoned about a half an hour ago. They have approved the funding for us. God has blessed us through them and through all of our family and coworkers and friends and God's hand has reached down to us through all of you. We have been shown overwhelming favor and grace. I am crying. I feel so loved and protected and cared for. I thank God for each one of you.
