Its a lazy tuesday afternoon and i am suppose to be spring cleaning but just decided to slack a bit before i continue... I have already packed and swept the floor of my room... It looks much better. Before it looks like a pig sty. And changed the bed sheets for all the beds in my house.
New year is coming again and i feel sort of unprepared for it... In the sense i have not donw much buying of new clothes... Only looking forward to more good food and getting red packets... hehe...
I was reading the Daily Bread today and would like to share with u all
Raised In Glory
Years ago, I heard a story about a man looking for flowers for spring planting. At the green house he came upon a golden chrysanthemum, bursting with blooms. To his surprise it was hidden in a corner and growing in an old dented rusted bucket.
"If this were my flower," he said to himself, "I would place it in a beautiful pot and display it proudly! Why is it confined in this old bucket and hidden in a concealed place?
When he remarked to the owner about the flower, she explained, "I started the plant in that old bucket until it blossomed. But its just for a short time. Soon I will transplant it to my garden."
The man laughed and imagines such a scene in heaven. "There's a beautiful one," God will say, " The product of my loving, kindness and grace. Now its confined in a broken body and obscurity, but soon in my garden, how tall and lovely this soul will stand!"
So we may now be "planted" in battered and bent containers for a short time while our lord beautifies our soul. Then he will display his handiwork and our loveliness for all to see.
So whether u or me is going thru a rough patch, its only for the time being... its only a process of letting us mature.
