A Promise of Spring.

I planted these beautiful pansies today while Esther was taking a nap.

I pinched off the blooms in order that they could put their strength into growing deep roots and a healthy plant. It's true that they will be robbed of their beauty for a short time, but when they do finally bloom, what gorgeous-ness they will display!

Today I'm praising the Lord for the times that He's pinched me back (and will continue to do so) in order that I might become the person He's shaping me into.
