Blue Bonnets on island in Guadalupe River, Spring Branch, TX USA
It was by God’s grace that I was created, during this time, on this tiny island, surrounded by raging water.
It was by Faith that my roots went deep into the soil to prevent the current from washing me away.
It was through hope, a hope that one day I would become all God wanted me to be, that my leaves shot up to kiss the sun.
It is with love that my flowers bloom radiating God’s love to all that see me.
In these times when many of us feel we are surrounded by raging water let us remember St. Paul’s famous words to the Church in Corinth that was also surrounded by raging waters, “So faith, hope and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” - 1 Corinthians 13:13
