God is in His heaven

You know this no job, no home, searching for a job, searching for a rental home is exhausting,

killing on the body and debilitating to the spirit.  I wonder why, how I've reached this low point at this time in my life and it is difficult to see hope and the way forward.  

Amidst it all, where I feel that my world is falling apart, I look out through the Dutch doors of the kitchen and as my eyes scan the small back garden,  I realize that the wider world is not falling apart; life continues with beauty shining through, lots of things are flourishing.  Spirit is whispering “God is in His heaven”.    

Rachet or Prickly Pear

I look at the bay tree, the jasmine bushes, the ratchet tree  and the orchids bursting with sprays of flowers, violet, lilac with hints of pink, and white, the top doesn't look like the underside.   One orchid has bloomed so many times this year, it amazes me!   Another has kept its spray for more than 3 months!  After about 6 years, another of the orchids has bloomed!   What beauty and perfume!  The lichens on the pots and the wall can be seen as beautiful too.   All the rough spots and funny shapes help to create further beauty to my eyes.


I recognize that I, like the orchid, may indeed bloom after lying dormant.  My rough spots and bumps help to make me as unique as I find each of my plants to be.  For just a little while, my heart is reassured that all will be well.    I do indeed breathe in love and breathe out gratitude.  

Won’t you take a bit of time and enjoy the flowers with me?   God is in His heaven.
