life in a sunscorched land

there are four very tall sunflowers in the garden.
no one has been home to water them for the past week- no one waters them when we are home...yet they grow.

life in a dry and thirsty land. somehow they are taken care of.
there is something about sunflowers that i have always loved.
i love the orange petals and brown and black center, i love how huge they are.
i love that no matter where you are in the world that they always look at the sun.
a few hours ago when i got home they were looking up- now their heavy heads are hanging only to lift again with the sun in the morning.

i know i'm like i am like a sunflower. especially in red bluff where it is so hot. sometime i feel like there is no one to water me to help me grow in a sense, yet i do.
i MUST look a the Son. when the dark times come, i hang my head, but the light always comes again.

the sunflower is marvelous.
it is strong.

i didn't necessarily come to the computer tonight to write about flowers but when you have a lot on your mind you can relate to anything...even a flower.

so- tonight if your head if hanging, don't worry look to the Son to pick it up because He won't let you down. He loves you- cares for you.
And if He can provide water and strength for a sunflower to lift its 5 pound head on its own every day- how much more is He going to love and provide for you?

i'm saying this to myself as well.
so long and goodnight my friends.
