Breathtaking, huh? Makes me want to pull off the road and whip out my camera every time, let me tell you.
This afternoon I took an expedition into our unnoticed, overgrown, heart-stopping ditches. I had a pair of scissors with me. I came back to the house with this:
Okay. Starting to be maybe a tad impressed. A horticulturists's dream. Every last leaf and petal born wild in a ditch. "The slums" in nature speak. The place no civilized flower dares be seen. My mom took one look at the floral arrangement and said, "Where other people see weeds, you see a beautiful bouquet." I want to add to that and say, "Where we see a ditch, God sees a garden." If He can work this out of a neglected slope on the side of the road, just think what He can do in a real garden. Apparently, no feature in His creation is overlooked. Not even the ditches.
