He has made everything beautiful in its time

He has made everything beautiful in its time.

He has also set eternity in the hearts of men yet they 

cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

Thank you Lord - that you are in THIS moment.

Thank you for planting seeds in my life today that will bring beauty tomorrow.

Forgive me for complaining 
when the beauty doesn't come in the season that I think it should come in.


Forgive me for not always responding with agape love 
when the planting is painful.

I know that you have a plan 
and purpose to bring beauty in your perfect timing.

I know that sometimes, 
although the seeds get planted to bloom in the spring of this year, 
the rain may not come at the right time, 
the freeze that needs to happen might not happen, 
the sun may not shine enough, 
and that is not a surprise to You. 

You know just when the perfect time is and you plan the conditions for that time, 
even if it's two years later and I've forgotten about the seeds that were planted.

Forgive me for sometimes giving up hope and allowing myself to forget. 

Thank you for surprising me with blooms when they are least expected,
bringing beauty into THIS moment. 

And thank you for teaching me through crocus that bloomed for the first time,
2 years later.

The desert and the parched land will be glad

the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. 

Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom 

it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.

Isaiah 35:1-2a

What has He made beautiful for you?
