A Passionate Celebration

We enjoy the beauty of a shared vine with our neighbors. It winds itself through our common fence and blooms during this time of year. Jose has given us this rare tropical flower.

It is called Passion of Jesus Christ.


We have done nothing to earn this gift.

It is grafted into our yard.

As a result, we have more beauty to enjoy.

Today we celebrate the life of Christ lived passionately on earth, and His powerful resurrection.

I have done nothing to earn this gift.

I am grafted into Christ.

As a result, I live a more abundant life.

Thank you, God, for using Jose and your creation to show us You.

If you look around you God is evident everywhere. It's neat that something as simple as a flower can be used to show the grace of God. Easter for me is quiet reflection. Thank you Jesus.

Amazing parallel! Thank you for this very appropriate writing as we still reflect on the Easter celebration. Please show us this flower/plant the next time we're visiting! Love you so much, Mom and Rodger.

This IS a good parallel, Shari, of a great Truth. I'm not familiar with the flower/plant. Hmm. Wonder if we have it in Atlanta?

That is a great "parallel", as the others put it. It is amazing that God's grace to us can be shown through even a simple flower. I loved this blog Mommy!
I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
