All because it got ate

When we bought the cabin 14 years ago I had this idea of planting flowers. I hadn’t thought through that I would not be around to water them or protect them from the natural environment such as bunnies and deer but I wanted color and beauty. The iris I planted didn’t make it a year. They were all eaten. The hosta made it slightly longer but by the end of the second year I had nothing in my yard. And then we noticed random purple iris showing up in the marsh. Little bits of color began showing up across the 6 acres we call home away from home. Last night I walked along the waters edge and saw purple iris are as far as eye can see. I meant to have one plant. The deer ate the plants and deposited the seeds when they, well pooped! So years later now we have flowers all through the meadow, the marsh and along the lake front. It’s prettier than I would have imagined.

God does that. I have an idea- God has a plan. I have a thought-God uses it to create a vision. My lilies are growing along side the house where I tucked them in an effort to have flowers. God sent the purple iris all over the property just to remind me who he is and what he created is far beyond my comprehension. So I look at the lilies and see God. Maybe that was his plan all along….
