Something to Praise God About

Recently I visited a friend's yard. It was like a park. Instead of really enjoying the yard, I realized how terrible my yard is. It is not really that I have tried to be neglectful. I simply have no skills. I was raised in a home of concrete yards. So what do I know about plants, gardens, landscapes etc. NOTHING! I was overwhelmed. And instead of going to my backyard, I never go out there because I am so frightened by what I don't know.

Forced from fear and frustration, I purchased some landscaping books this week- that made me feel even worse. I realized how much I truly don't know. But after some self talk I knew that doing nothing, was doing nothing. The situation will not get better because I am frightened right out of my own yard. So I have been working hard to get out there and work. And....I love it. My imagination is blooming and I am having so much fun!

As I was working I realized that it is much like Jesus. He promises to make all things new. And that is hope for a sinner's heart. God sees beauty in us, even when we don't see it ourselves. Isn't that something to praise God about?
