flowers in the desert


Would you expect to find flowers in the midst of desert-like land? Late rains made that happen in southern California in late spring. It's not what you would expect to see.

I'm looking for flowers in the middle of the desert...why look there? I have learned that when life seems dry and monotonous, when my emotions are arrid and empty, God can change the texture of everything with the rain of His blessing.

I am celebrating the color of my life, even though the days have been unbearably hot, and unsufferably dry. Just a drop of God's goodness, mercy and grace brings beauty in the midst of it all.
