The question is not, will there be storms?
The question is: will I be ready?
I have been doing lots of digging these last few weeks.Preparing my garden for winter requires that I remove all the bulbs cana, dahlia, gladiola, and cala which I plant so frivolously in the spring.
Each needs to be removed and stored in the dark in preparation for more growth and blooming the following summer.
a few glimpses... the children(in upper photo)were visiting...
I always breathe a sigh of relief when this arduous task is done.
Storms and seasons come and go . As I 'hide' these bulbs away in my cellar to retrieve in due season , my heart holds on to the promise of things to come, and I know that I can weather many storms if I am prepared and have hid His word in my heart.
Thy Word have I hid in my heart.... Psalm 119:11
We can never be lilies in the garden, unless we have
spent time as bulbs in the dark. (unknown)
