A WATER LILY 5-18-17

In the midst of sickness threatening my body, uncertainties in my life, indefinites and trials experienced by those I love, and the craziness in the world, I fumbled through all the whys.

I recently fixated my eyes on a water lily blooming in the pond of the courtyard where I live.

This water lily was astonishing and placed just where it was supposed to be.

I began to wonder.

In these dark times, God placed a thing of beauty for my eyes to see and savor.

I then realized the blessings in my life.

This enormous love was in my life, a love with no boundaries. Love coming from God, seeping over to family, friends and others had me realize the good in my life, in people and in the world.

I bowed my head and uttered words of gratitude to God!
