Garden Flowers 07/01/08

At one point today my car was still in the body shop, my computer did not work, my web site was down and my air conditioner was broke. Yet I was blessed. My computer and web site are back and I am still blessed. My car and air conditioner will be fixed and I will still be blessed. I am blessed in so many ways, with housing, food, family and friends and enough money to get back some of the extra items, like two cars and air conditioning, that are part of my life. I received a sign of my blessing today when I took some old clothes over to a place nearby where those in real need can receive clothing and furniture. The lady there had just received a donation of some flowers and gave me some for my gardens in front and back. Flowers, a sign of blessings, are used at weddings, funerals, as gifts, or just to display for beauty. These flowers are not eaten but are sign of beauty and gratitude. Why worry and fret about the above, or even clothes: “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.” (Matthew 5:28) Or to put it in English slang: Why focus on your problems when “Bob’s Your Uncle.” And Uncle Bob has flowers.
