The sheer audacity
of a tiny revival
refusing to give up
defying the odds stacked against you
daring to burst into bloom
long after your projected lifespan
each little flower
a shower
of hope
a sower
of steadfastness
stamina
defiance
boldness
proceeding to bloom outside your limits
without fear
without doubt
without shame
without guilt
without regulations
or restrictions
without conforming
annual turned perennial
your own little club
started to show me that
some things survive
despite the odds
some things endure
despite the odds
some things bloom
despite the odds
what are odds anyway?
": the probability that one thing is so or will happen rather than another : CHANCES"
when God is involved
nothing is by chance
or predicted by odds
He is
the survival
the enduring
the blooming
He came to us
with metaphors
parables
symbols
so that we could readily understand
His Word
His hand on your blooming
is a symbol of
Faith
Hope
Love
the greatest given to the least
Amen.
"Enjoy the little things in life for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." (Kurt Vonnegut,Robert Brault)
