A few months ago...
I tried to grow zucchini
the plants grew...
zucchinis came out...
and then, long before maturity...
the small fruit yellowed and died
with determined, feminine brute force...
I am giving it another try
because, I want zucchini this year
and, I have planted a few Indian maize corn
it would be nice to have our own maize for grinding into corn meal
the little plants are okay, thus far
we had picked up an hibiscus plant a few weeks ago without flowers as yet
I've been waiting to see what color the blooms would be
as you can see...they turned out a beautiful yellow
two blooms we have so far...
with petals showing imperfect beauty
and when they finally folded their short life...
they still looked lovely to me
I am happy to report...
my stevia plants are going strong
a leaf or two only, every few days while they still grow...
to put in my morning cafe con leche
it is a sweet life as the Lord so blesses
I don't take these things for granted...
for who knows?
perhaps, some day, the Lord will see fit to take as He has given
paradise here?
no...it gives no inkling of true paradise with the Lord in heaven
looking forward to that glory in His heavenly kingdom...
this earthly part will be forgotten...
He has promised His children better things, a perfect paradise...
...we, according to His promise,
look for a new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2 Peter 3:13
and I long for it as a pilgrim traveling through this life of imperfect beauty
May you know the perfect beauty of God's grace this day, or night.
