BURSTING.

One of the first spring flowers!  The street down from us gets just a little more sun and all of a sudden their flowers are beginning to blossom.  It is good to see some green in my garden after it has looked so barren and lifeless.  We moved some things around so it will be interesting to see how well the plants do in their new places.  Dad has bought a new washer to clean up the sidewalk etc.

Today we are off to visit Shirley in Burnaby and I am not sure what the weather is suppose to be.

I am reading about the five guidelines of discernment, spiritual discernment.  Learning to take care of my garden has been a gradual process  and seeing the earth come to life is very rewarding.  Next week I should start to start doing a little more.

Discernment
Learning to be silent
Mindful of the temptations of consumerism
Open to the breath of the spirit that refreshes like the first breath of spring.
Serving others by helping and caring and praying and giving.
Seeing the sacred in the daily tasks as well as moments of ritual blessings.
Finding guidance in the scriptures that speak to us in new ways.
Our lives a prayer bursting with new possibilities and new insights.

God created wisely and this "wisdom of God is to be found in the wisdom of the Earth and Heavens."
