The Reward for Surviving Rough Seas

The Reward for Surviving Rough Seas
We are all like sea shells tossed about in rough waters and being re-shaped in wondrous ways. But have you ever contemplated the notion that sea shells have to complete their journey through the rough waters before they get to rest on the shore? Yeah, we are ALL like sea shells and Heaven is The Great Shore.

Are You Blooming!

Greetings Everybody,
It's good to be back home. 
We went out of town this past week and visited with lots of family at an annual get-together out in the boonies!


Lots of stories I could tell you about that, lol
But for now, I'd rather just talk about this flower, because I think it can teach us all a few things.

I took this photo back in May but just haven't had a chance to post it for you guys yet. Hope you enjoy it.:)


It's a pretty thing isn't it.

Relatively short lifespan.

But while it's alive,  it's Living.

REALLY LIVING!

It's not holding anything back.

It copes with Sunshine and Darkness and Wind and Rain.

And it thrives.

It thrives because it CAN.

And PEOPLE are like that too.

Though we certainly live longer than flowers, 
still, we have a relatively short lifespan.

We Face Sunshine in the Happy Times.

Darkness in the Hard Times.

Wind in the Storms of Life.

And Refreshing Rain that Restores us if we let it.

So here's your question...
Ready???

Are YOU Blooming like this?
Are YOU Living Without Holding Back.
Are YOU Thriving?

I hope so.
Really Truly Hope So.

May you soak up the "Son-shine".
May you rest assured in HIM through The Darkness.
May you bend & not break when the Stormy winds blow.
May you Rejoice during the Gentle Healing Rains.

May you choose to THRIVE and REALLY TRULY LIVE!

Blessings to you all!

In Him,
Grace
