Faith UP Friday!

That’s right…it’s Faith UP Friday! Did you wake up with the troubles of yesterday on your mind? If so, I have good news to share that will make your day: Today is a new day, a fresh start and a new beginning! It’s a day of opportunity and blessings. You don’t have to live in sadness and worry about your life. Remember yesterday’s reflection on hope? Well, hope links to faith. And faith links to making positive things happen! So get up, open the window or door and take in the crisp morning air, and make a mental note of all the things you are grateful for in this day. You can start with your life.

This post wouldn't be complete without a note about at least one of the flowers in my patio garden. I can’t go without mentioning how they can inspire us. Consider the Purslane plant also known by many other names including “resurrection plant”. It’s a plant that’s easy to grow and has a unique texture.

 

What I like most about this plant is its response to light. As the sun sets, its vibrant pink blooms (at least that’s the color of the blooms on my plant) close up. The tiny green leaves of the plant also fold together and curl making the plant look much smaller than it actually is. But when the morning sun rises and the soft breeze blows, the blooms and leaves open right up and the stems sit upright welcoming the warm sunshine. This plant seems to know how to respond to all things bright and beautiful. It lifts right up displaying colorful blooms and brings so much life to my patio garden. 

Lift up your faith today. Remember that no matter what your day brings, God has already given you the tools you need to be your best. And He’s with you every step you take.
