Plant Growth

These pictures are from Saturday, March 19 & Wednesday, March 23. We hadn't had any rain in between these days nor had we watered.

You can hardly see the sprouts in this picture from Saturday.


But, here they are on Wednesday!

These are the same type of plant (hostas), but in a different location -- from Saturday.

Here they are on Wednesday!

Isn't God's work amazing?! We take for granted how awesome He is, but here is His handiwork.
Matthew 6:28-30 says, "And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?"

It's easy to forget that God is concerned about the details in our lives. We think that we can only come to Him with big things. But, if He can care about getting these hostas from little sprouts to big leafy plants, then doesn't He care so much more for us? I'm striving to include God in all the things that I do. He cares about my itchy eyes and how I wish I had taken time to iron last night. He knows what I need to get through the day and how crabby I get in the evening after a long day. He wants to take care of me and have me rely on Him. What an awesome God!
