midsummer
Absence of the care taker, lack of water, and increase of heat combined to diminish the previously beautiful life.

Other responsibilities and activities had taken precedent over caring for the summer flowers. We didn't notice the change right away. It wasn't until the damage was almost complete, then we saw. Our distractions led to its destruction. We had almost noticed too late.
Yet, with a bit of care and tenderness, it flourished again.

ReplyDeleteIt's been about two weeks, but it's starting to return! It's been in "ICU" since then. I've been more faithful recently then even when I first planted it!
And thankfully the Lord never neglects! Thanks for the reminder!
