Perseverance


 “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”  - Helen Keller

This flower is just outside my home office window. I can see it blooming even though it has been without rain for about 2 months. Yesterday in the afternoon it was 101 outside. No leaves on the stem. Just a beautiful flower. Conditions are parched--but it is determined to bloom. 
It was cause for reflection for my life. Do I respond as well as my plant does? It seems God can send a message in so many ways. This one was for me.
