PLANTS AND GOOD DEEDS

I enjoy planting flowers each Spring

in pots, some small and some larger.

I love color and try to plant as many

as I can care for.

Each morning I go out to water them. 

Taking care of them is a chore but one

that has it's rewards, but some not so 

good.

You see I have a squirrel that lives in a

tree in my yard. I believe it's this pesky 

little animal that digs in my flower pots

and uproots the plants.

It has even eaten the flowers off the moss rose

(the last pot on bottom row).

I have also seen several holes in the ground.

It could be a chipmunk or both that digs up

my plants.

I am reminded of another pest in my life.

As hard as I try to do good and let my love show,

there's this thing that we all have, it's called 

"sin nature". We're all born with it.

It's the things we do or say that "uproots" our

testimony. Unkind words or actions can uproot

all the good we've done.

Today as I water my flowers, I'll be

reminded to water the seeds in my life with words of kindness and actions with good deeds. I will try my best to treat others the way I wish to be treated.

"My little children, let us not love in word

or tongue, but in deed and in truth."

My Favorite Place for Spring Flowers

Every Spring when the first flowers of the year start to bloom, I love to visit my sister, Doris. She has the prettiest yard and even though she has RA, she still works in her garden.  Last week she called to tell me they were blooming. So off to her house for an hours drive, to visit and see the new blooms.  These photo's doesn't do it justice, since I'm not a photographer!

Just a want to be!

So up the steps we go to the back area.

 

See the frog on the fence!

 Here she has raked the leaves with plans to plant more flowers.

 I gave my brother-in-law this swinging frog several years ago for his birthday. He collects frogs, not real ones!

Inside the covered area, there's a swing.

 

  

And this is just part of her back yard. Maybe next time I'll get the other side, since she hasn't finished it, and the front yard.

Hope you have enjoyed the tour.

Have a blessed day!
