It's the Simple Things
"Cause it's the simple things that strum my strings..." Rodney Atkins sings in his song, "Simple Things." And how wonderful it is to know what those simple things in life are to you! For me, some of those things are sunflowers.
Though we had confidence the Lord was moving us away from MO a few years ago, my emotions were still beat. We still had to sell our house and big furniture. We moved to our temporary home that ended up being a 21 month stay. Those were some dry times spiritually for us. At just the right times we received encouragement from people we hardly knew and who hardly knew what we were walking through. It was always a kiss from heaven to have that reminder we weren't forgotten.
Following a myriad of confirmations and answered prayers, we found ourselves living in Alexandria, MN. Then eventually in our own house again! This season, or chapter we're in, has been a breathe of fresh air. This Summer, much to my delight, we live surrounded by sunflowers! It could easily be overlooked but I see it as just one more thing the Lord has used to revive my heart again. It was such a delight to photograph these beautiful flowers!
