So very wise… It only took me my first fifty years to not blame myself for others inconsistencies….
To each their own time and space. I enjoy watching nature bloom (and my grands too).
I know, when I was young, I played smart, tried to go one step ahead, I almost got big trouble on my job. Now I try to sit back and enjoy, as you said. ❤
Yes, Colleen. There is a Chinese fable about one person tried to help the rice field to grow faster by pulling them higher, only to find they were dead the next day. I can never forget that lesson. Have a nice week the rest of the week.
Not wise to rush God’s timing. Often results in stunted growth. That reminds me of buying flowering plants from discount centers in the spring time. The are beautiful when I put them out, but I find they do not continue blooming like they should.
Yes, I have that experience, Oneta. Now I buy smaller flower plants, but mix with good soil mix. We can’t temper with God’s timing.
Thank you for your comment.
