I thought I would share this story...it has lifted me up so much. So Mother's Day 2009 I got a geranium from church as a gift. I brought it home and planted it in a pot and it lived until fall and then it died like every thing else. Fast forward to Spring 2010 and Maddux and I were planting some seeds. I took the pot that the geranium was in and dumped half of the soil out and put new in. We then planted our seeds in it and set it out to grow. Unfortunately our seeds did not grow but the pot sat out on the back porch for the rest of the summer...the hot, hot summer. We never watered it or messed with it but late in the fall we were putting all of our stuff in the garage for the winter and I noticed that there was something growing in the pot. As I looked closer I realized it was a geranium....I couldn't believe my eyes! I immediately brought it in and cried. I took it as a sign directly from God. Why else would a flower grow from nothing. I know that the original plant was long gone and I couldn't believe that after all this time the geranium came back up again. I know there are probably explanations for this but I can't help but to think that God is showing me his love through something simple like a flower. So I brought the plant in and it grew and eventually flowered. It is absolutely amazingly beautiful! GOD is here...right in my life! Every time I walk into the kitchen and see that flower I am reminded of his constant love...even in the seasons of our lives when we fill dried up like that pot was all summer.
