God has packaged blessings for us.
Each one meticulously crafted.
The markings of His favor etched all over them;
His love, folded into every detail.
Like a beautiful iris tucked neatly inside its bud,
Every aspect of the things God has planned for us
Await their revealing.
Thoroughly readied for us,
Anticipating our discovery.
It is easy to grow weary or doubtful, when all we see are the frayed edges of our promises. While we wait, we cannot see what lies ahead and do not know all that God has planned.
Yet He whispers. ‘Hold on, my beloved.
Don’t give up believing for the good things coming your way.’

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him”
1 Corinthians 2:9

*In a previous post last year, I wrote about how my neighbor’s irises were lovely, while my beds had scanty blooms. See Brenda’s Irises.
Right after my neck surgery this year, though, God surprised me with a magnificent showing of my irises. It was a very sweet blessing!
God has so much in store and loves us more than we will ever know.
Let’s hold on like never before!
**BTW. I continue to improve, but still struggle with excessive time on computers; hence, my infrequent posts. I appreciate your prayers. I do have much on my heart to share, and miss my photos and blogging.
