Picture Satuday: Tomatoes

For everyone who read my prayer letter (for those who didn't receive it, but would like to send me your email address) here is a picture of the tomato plants I am growing.  I am excited that is is spring and I am looking forward to eating some fresh tomatoes in the future. 



 

Picture Saturday: In bloom

I have always admired my mom being able to get her Christmas cactus to bloom at just the right time.  This year I almost killed mine by not watering it, but now it is very much alive.  Isn't this how it is so often in our lives?  Needing to suffer and sometimes be close to death to experience much beauty and life?
