Blooming 2

I find it's not the easiest thing to stay focused on the present, to be content with where one is in life.

I often find myself not 'present' with my children, and often feel convicted about it. This blooming where I am planted is tough, and I am realizing (again) just how selfish my heart is. Ok Lord, prune and hoe away!

Let's see how my tulips are doing with this ;) ...

"Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am."

(Phil. 4:12-13 - Message - one that crosses my mind when my 'dreaming' crosses the line of contentment)
