Thankful Thursday:
Today my heart is full of gratitude for something simple yet so meaningful...the growth of lemons on my husband's lemon trees. What a joy it is to step into the greenhouse and see the little reminder that God is always at work, even when don't see it happening right away.
The lemons started as tiny blossoms, almost too delicate to notice. Then, little by little, they have grown fuller and brighter. It might still be a couple of weeks until we can harvest them, but I can only think of the freshness they will bring to the table.
Isn't that just like the blessings in our own lives? Sometimes the growth is slow but oh so rewarding.

The slow journey of those lemons was a labor of love. They required careful watering, nutrient-rich fertilization, and diligent attention as they flourished under the sun. Each stage of growth was a testament to patience and care. And when the time finally arrived for harvest, you could be confident that the lemons would be perfectly poised to fulfill their delightful destiny - perhaps transforming into a refreshing glass of lemonade?
