Today is Saturday, May 27th, 2017; Karen's Korner #3565

(A Saturday edition to offset Tuesday when I was away from my computer).


Annually, a number of middle school students locally put on a 'seniors night' when grandparents and retirees return to school for one evening. There are a number of 'class' offerings.

One of the classes was planting a couple of garden seeds and receiving some growing tips. Our class started a couple of flower seeds (I can't recall the kind!), but they could be grown inside or out. After mine started in its pot indoors, I decided to set it outside, not far from my basement door.

The nice 'green plant' didn't do well. It didn't die; it didn't thrive either.

But in the last week, I see that it is really doing well:  not from the top but from regrowth, coming from the roots! It's going to make it and thrive.

Makes me think of us when we are 'rooted' in God's love and life. It isn't so much about us, but about Him!


"Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all he has done."

~ Colossians 2:7 (TLB)

"Thank You, God, for the lives we have in You. Thank You that we can grow because of our 'root system'. You are a good, every day God! We can count You and Your Love for all of us! Amen."
