Always Following the Light

This is an unusual pot plant that sits under the back verandah. There is not as much sunlight here.
See how the plant has turned to seek the light. We have tried to trick this plant, and turn it around the other way. But the plant with these beautifully coloured flowers again seeks the light. To me they bend low in recognition of the Giver of life and light. For the plant there is a source that is life-giving.


I learn from the plant that life outside of Love and Life will indeed be spindly and  colourless. Is this not death when we will not come to the Father who gives all that is needed for full living? Seek the Light and live!

Counting thanks:
92.  A reminder to be thankful in all things.
93.  Medical help for my son-in-law.
94.  My daughter's support for her family.
95.  A plant to tell me to seek the true Light.
96.  Lunch with my grand-daughter.
98.  Music in the evening.
99.  Accepting the constant barking of a dog.
100. A returned phone call.

I am linking with Ann at A Holy Experience.

  1. Such lovely thoughts. I love reading your lists of things to be grateful for. A nice reminder to all of us that it is the small things, and the company of loved ones, that are the important things in life :)
