I had a wonderful plan for my day. Then, I found out it was going to be a rainy day! So I had to readjust my plans.
The original plan was to get my post written and my last Thursday Bible study done. When that was done, I planned to finish my gardening I wanted to do last week…but couldn’t get the dirt I needed when I planned to.
So, I had to plan my gardening around the rain. Once it stopped/slowed down to mist, I got my dirt in and mixed (with Ron’s help) and got the vegetables in the ground. They are now in.
The old herbs have been moved and divided up…my greek oregano was going a little wild! The new veggies are in and drinking up the moisture. They are now free to enjoy this gloomy day with occasional showers and mist. What a perfect day for them to adjust to their new environment.
Not only that, I’m not even going to moralize today and give you all the wonderful parallels between the gardening and the way GOD works in my life that I thought of. For you gardeners, you already know them…and more.
For the non-gardeners, you will miss out today on my lofty thoughts (tee-hee) and will be able to think a few of your own. Today is a day for brevity…and enjoyment of GOD’s beautiful world.
How will you enjoy it today?
- Take a walk?
- Smell a flower?
- Dig in the dirt?
- Sit on your porch and enjoy the sunset/sunrise?
- Encourage your child to notice GOD’s creation around him?
- Think of another creative way to enjoy the beauty all around you in creation!
You nailed my day. I came home from work and sat on my deck in my porch swing just soaking up the sun. I felt guilty, for a moment, then reminded myself to just enjoy. I came in later and went to the basement to do laundry and when I came up the sunshine was gone and the wind was blowing in a rainstorm. How grateful I am that I sat, for a few blessed moments, in the sun!
it’s delightful isn’t it? it’s interesting how laundry, dirty dishes and many other chores always sit and wait. we can take 5 or 10 minutes and enjoy the beauty of GOD’s creation:) somehow, the few minutes we take to enjoy the beauty, we get energized a bit to go and do the work:) it took me a long time to learn that lesson, but i did learn it:)
i’m glad you enjoyed it tara:) i enjoy it too for the same reason. seems like everything is coming to life! i took a walk with my grandson the other day and we were looking at all the flowers that were blooming:) so fun!
i’m enjoying the class too. i’m learning to do all kinds of fun things with graphics. seems to look a little more professional doesn’t it? i’ve had a learning curve on using instagram but am slowly catching on to it!
i was proficient in pic monkey but my son-in-law told me i could only use things that downloaded from the apple store. flash player isn’t one of those things:( so pic monkey is history. i’m glad to have some good substitutes.
Martha, such a great post. I love this time of year because I am more apt to really look at God’s creation etc. Today I got to spend my day with some of my fave people which is always a blessing. Love your graphic. I am taking Crystal Stine’s Creative Basics course and am loving what she is teaching us about using Canva etc! 🙂
