Here in north central Iowa the spring has been chillier than many times. Where I live April showers have been lacking.

Several weeks ago I planted many flowers seeds and a short row of lettuce. And I have waited.

The lettuce has poked its head through the ground. But I have yet to see much evidence of the marigolds. One of three things have happened:  it has been too cold, too dry, or I am too impatient!

I can do the tilling and planting but it is God who is charge of the 'increase'. So I wait!

Dear Lord, thank You that I have the opportunity to participate in the growing of flowers and vegetables. I thank You for the soil, seeds, sun, and rain which you provide. Help me to be patient as I anticipate the growing season. You are a good God. Help me to stop, look and listen to the world around me. I celebrate today and the plans You have for tomorrow.  In Jesus' Name. Amen.
