Happy Birthday SixBit

I have been so full of thought today. I had plans today to do this and that but when we came home from dropping the boys at school...the dirt called. My mom had been germenating some seeds with Grace that I had bought to do. Pinky inspired me to do this after my last trip to her house. It was time to transfer some over to their own little pots. But when that was done, we started raking some weeds, then moved a withering gardenia into a pot for some shade. When I went to water, I found my bougainvillea plant was actually growing but wildly...so I took a trellis with a 90% dead star of jasmine out of the ground and moved it to where the bougainvillea was then worked really hard to get the two planted together and intertwined on the trellis. I kept thinking, I wonder if either will ever bloom? and if they do it will always remind me of this day, SixBits bday. I guess being in the garden was the best place for me to spend my day. My hands could be busy while my thoughts processed. So much loss, pain, grief, suffering...so much growth...spiritual growth.

"How can He (God), in giving Him (Jesus), lavish on us all things." Rom 8:32

He can't help but to lavish us with good things, having already given us His greatest.

And, so, even this untimely suffering is perfect timing and a good thing from the very hand of God. I beg the Lord for sweet mercies to fill this day for my loved Bug family!!!
