White Tulips
Today as I went out for my morning jog I saw my first spring flowers poking out of the ground. Not only was it just any flower, but my favorite- white tulips! Perhaps 5 years ago when I was working at a nearby nursing home, one of the ladies who I was working with had been given a solitary white tulip; it was so beautiful to me. Something about that flower grabbed me- perhaps it was its simplicity, the beauty or the representation of purity. Anyway, from that excursion, I feel in love with white tulips!
Today as I saw those beautiful white tulips- I was reminded of the unseen. I'm sure if I had run by the same place one week ago, I would have not seen any flowers. However, there was a lot of growth occuring underground- I just couldn't see it! Just as faith! Don't give up in believing without seeing- for faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. God works in the unseen and that encourages me- so be encouraged today! I felt like I was doubly encouraged with that thought paired with my beautiful white tulips!

I love tulips too! I don't think I've ever seen white tulips before though. Interesting. I'm sure I'll notice a white tulip next time. I'd like to invite you to visit my blog about Sidney. I've added you to my list of links of Sidney bloggers.
Thank you for the invitation to visit your site- I enjoyed watching the youtube video about Sidney
