Flowers In The Kitchen 1/27/2025

 Good Morning,

A large pot of Door County Caramel Apple Coffee just finished brewing. I poured myself a cup and now it is time to write. 

I am writing from our daughter's home for awhile as I embark on an extended visit. I am sitting in her kitchen and adopted and island type work surface as my desk to write in the mornings. As I sit here writing and I look across to a counter top I see the remnants of flowers sent to her home in sympathy and support on the loss of her son. 

I have posted a a photo of some of the plants and flowers. What you don't see are the faces of those who entered her home last Saturday to shower her with love and support. You don't see those who walked, drove, or arrived in a plane to be be kind. 

Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. 

Although very beautiful all on their own, the flowers and plants for me, represent all those who are praying for her, calling her and visiting. 

My point of the day is this. Life can dump a load of hurt on folks. If you have the opportunity to extend yourself to someone and make a difference, be the flower in their day. That kindness has a way of turning around and coming back to you. 

Food for thought!
