April Showers ~ Bring May Flowers

It has been raining here the entire day. And although it was a gray day, it was very exciting to see all the moisture. I can't wait to see what it does for the plants we just planted. Grow, garden, grow!

As I watched it raining today, it made me think about how we water our lives. Are you giving yourself the right things to make your life grow in beautiful ways? If we neglect to water our own lives, we'll dry up and die on the vine. But when we remember to give ourselves a little water, it's amazing what wonderful things happen.

A very good friend (who also happens to be a gardening genius) said to me the other day as we were talking about some plants that I was sure were dead..."All they really want to do is survive, you just have to help them along and give them a chance."

Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had that same kind of support once in awhile? We need to be reminded not to give up on our hopes and dreams, instead, try giving them a little water. You'll be amazed at what you might be able to grow.
