How did this happen? How did these flowers defy death?Īnd – how did they do it on, of all days - Easter morning?! My heart wanted to bust open at the seams. They were alive, despite every reason they should be dead. They didn’t look sad.Īstonishingly, they were upright, vital, and purple. And I could hardly believe my eyes! Somehow, some way, they didn’t look like they did yesterday. Later that night, I checked in on them again they looked the same. I prayed for little flowers and then lugged all my trip baggage inside.

I knew the white variety that lined the front hedge of my house would be fine the rain would hit them. I don’t know why I was worried it was a small issue in the grand scheme of things, but, still, I kept thinking back to home…to the flowers I planted before I left. Nearly all vacation long, I couldn’t stop worrying. He has also set eternity in the human heart yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV). "He has made everything beautiful in its time.
