Backyard Surprises

This weekend was full of awe moments. First of all, I HAVE AN INTERVIEW. What a blessing that is. Secondly, something I'll blog more on later, Sunday was Hampton Heights Baptist's 60th anniversary. 60 years in the ministry is  more than an amazing feet in today's world. We all only hope that we can continue ministering in our community.

In today's society we are constantly running, pushing ourselves to go fast, do faster, and everything is hurried. We often over look the unique and simple creations. Things that God took great detail to create. Our busy lives distract us from so much. God created so many amazing things. Each of them unique in their own way.We often times are so unaware of what God has created and the many blessings that we have in our lives and sometimes those blessings are just in our backyard. Those does days we actually stop and slow down, those creations just surprise us.

"and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."

Genesis 1:20

Did you know?

Unexplained Growth

My Dad's Design

It all begins with a seed. One single seed and something grows. A flower, a vine, a tree, or even food. It is just another one of the blessings that God gave us from the beginning of life.

⁹ And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:9

Every year my dad gets out in the yard and digs, pulls and plants. He relaxes and gets a little dirty. He takes different parts of God's gifts and cares for them.  We set up a water system, we weed the yard and we check each area daily to make sure it everything is going alright. Just like God does in our lives.

What is the amazing part and ultimately the blessing is His little surprises...
