Treasures on the Other Side of the Road

Treasures on the Other Side of the Road

This morning on my walk, the recycle truck was picking up items on the side of the road I usually
walk on. So I went over to the other side of the road to walk. I found some sweet treasures of beauty
there that I hadn't seen before. Dainty queen's anne lace, funny, yellow butter and eggs, and pink clover with pinstriped leaves soon formed a bouquet in my hand.

As I walked I thought about some things in my life that seemed to have me on the other side of the road.
It is not the familiar, everyday path for me right now. I think God has some treasures for me to discover here. I am going to keep my eyes open, ears attentive, and my heart receptive. I am sure these treasures that I am expecting will grace my life and those around me just as that bouquet of wildflowers is now gracing my bathroom sink.

I am excited Lord.
Excited that You are taking each step with me.
Excited that everything with You is intentional and for my good.
Excited because I know You are good, and Your love for me is abundant and full!!!
