A Gift from God

It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

 They are new every morning: 

great is thy faithfulness.

 The LORD is my portion, 

saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, 

to the soul that seeketh him.

 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Lamentations 3:22-26

I very nearly didn't get it done.
In fact, I eventually had to delegated the job to Vanessa.

but oh, how happy we are that we took care of those bulbs and planted them and protected them from getting frozen, then uncovered them and brought them in to grow.
They are a gift from God,
but notice we had to plant them...

It reminds me;

The Lord has many gifts for us... but often we don't take the time to

look to Him for those gifts

dig for the hidden treasure,

or plant the seeds He offers
and wait.

He says, You have not because you ask not.

Ask and it shall be given you.
Seek and you shall find.
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you.

The bulbs didn't plant themselves, or water themselves,
or make their way to the sunny window,
but I couldn't MAKE them grow.
They are God's GIFT.
And my morning wouldn't be half so pleasant and cheery without them.

 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, 

to the soul that seeketh him.

 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
