Sunday Eve ~ Lessons in gardening and life

Just a  few weeks back, pink roses scrambled up my trellis in abundance.

 But lately, the lavish blooms have dwindled. 

So….to the “accurate source of all information” I go,

the internet, of course, {cough}

to discover what I can do to renew my lush roses.

What I learned among other laborious feats was to deadhead the spent roses.

So up the step ladder I go with my garden clippers, 

snipping and snapping away!

While balancing on the ladder, it occurred to me that life needs deadheading too.

When the blooming season in your life is stagnant, deadhead and move on.

Whether it’s work, play, or relationships, when it’s not blooming anymore,

clip off the ugly deadheads and amazing things happen.

Just like the fresh beautiful blooms that reappear on the branch,

a renewing of your spirit

will well up within you and bring you

happiness and joy.

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—

his good, pleasing and perfect will.” ~ Romans 12:2
