Driving around during the spring and seeing all the beautiful spring flowers has always been a favorite of mine! I love the spring colors, and all the spring flowers just says HAPPY! I always wanted to plant colorful flowers at my house, but was told that it was silly to do so because since they were annuals they would just die so it was just a waste of money. The logic was sad to me, but in life you tend to choose your battles, so I never made a big deal over that one.
Well, over the weekend I went and bought me some color:) Oh I had the most fun at the garden place at Home Depot! Like a kid in the candy store! I found some beautiful flowers to put in some big beautiful pots. And I probably looked ridiculous with that big stupid smile on my face the whole time. The only time I had a little panic moment is when I had to put the big bag of potting soil in my cart, it was really heavy, but I did get in there, and when I got it out to my car a very nice older gentleman helped me put it in my car.
Yesterday after church while the kids were with their dad, and I was feeling more then a little sad, I opened that big bag of potting soil, breathed in the smell of the dirt, and planted me some color. Now as I sit here on this beautiful morning, coffee in hand, listening to the birds, and I look out on MY patio, I can finally admire MY beautiful spring color.
Life is what we make it folks, and I choose to make my life happy and colorful. Believe me I could really make it dark and gloomy, but really what good would that do anyone. Nope I choose to make it as vibrant as the purple verbena's I planted and as sunny as the daisies in my big beautiful pots. The Lord created all of these things for us to enjoy every day, not to just keep on a shelf for others to enjoy... remember that song "this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine". Go let your light or color shine today- I know I am. Have a great week- pray for me because I am going to pray for you.
