For the past few days, Emily (my 10 year old) and I have been house sitting for my parents while they are in Texas. Before they left, my Dad left a detailed list on how to feed all the dogs, chickens, birds, and cat. He showed me how to pick and water his garden. No problem. We got this. Their home and yard is beautiful. Truly something you would see in a Southern Living magazine.
No, this is not an outhouse but a pump house where their well is held. Their yard has many rustic decorations they have collected throughout the years.
My parents grow the most beautiful daylilies you have ever seen. The fact that daylilies only last one day made me a bit sad at first. Here you have this gorgious flower that only lives for one day then it dies. But we can use that as a reminder of what God has given us. Each day He gives us another chance to live. A chance to have a beautiful day to celebrate life, to heal wounds, to love, to worship Him. Today is a new day. What will you choose to do with it?
