Do you see them?
Each Sunday for the past month or more, I have passed by little flowers blooming in a crack in the pavement near this pillar on my way into the church.
Today I stopped to take a picture.
A closer shot
The seeds have obviously settled there and found adequate nourishment to grow.
A bit ragged
but Beautiful none-the-less
It appears that these little pansy plants are nestled up against a curb. They are not. There is a painted line on the edge of the cement where it meets with the blacktop of the parking lot. Not a very hospitable place for a little plant.
There are so many life lessons to be drawn here: from dealing with adversity to the scriptural message about flowers blooming for a season and then fading.
I just appreciate the fact that I have everything I need for my present life and...
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
Phil. 4:13

Amen Mom! :) your title made me think of something a friend said on her blog recently about Her daughters growing up and moving and such. She said, "Yes, the times they are a’changing. And with awe and wonder I watch my daughters’ lives unfold and display God’s handiwork. Little wildflower seeds, being scattered by His holy wind. I cannot follow, but I can watch and pray and skype and love from where I’m planted."
The rest of this post touches my heart also. Your little flower represents to me not a life rooted and lived in that crack but a blessed opportunity that was taken, a moment in a season where the seeds were present and ready to dig in and grow.
Beatiful pictures, beautiful post :)
