"I must try and cultivate an eye for life's mercies...
And life, while it has its ugly swamps, its vile weeds, and its sharp thorns,
has always its fair flowers to charm the eye with their beauty,
or to fill the air with their fragrance..."
Rev. John Flowers Serjeant, 1878
I actually was going to use this verse today... and was trying to find one of my palm tree photos from Uganda ... and then felt led to jump to the "High Tower". Funny, huh? I think God blessed us both be dropping in His verses/plans for us. Lovely photo, and, of course, Scripture. Thanks.
I so agree with you, Joanne. Another friend of mine wrote about the word flourish this weekend, and then I discovered this verse to go with the cedar branches that included flourish...and I KNEW it was it! Thank you.
Your thoughts are important to me, and I appreciate you sharing them here on Pollywog Creek. I may not always respond, but I read every word and cherish your kindness and grace. ~ Patricia

ReplyDeleteWe are given every day to flourish and grow of course, but Sunday does seem particularly apt...
ReplyDeleteAmen...
