A New Flower in my Garden

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever(Psalm 118:29)

A year ago I planted the seeds of Achillea (Yarrow) I saw in the picture of the package that it would bloom in a variety of pastel colors like yellow,white, pink. I never know which color I would get, but wished that it will bloom pink and didn't want white.


Here is a pictures of little buds, it seemed like this plant was going to bloom white.


I thought, it will look good with my bright yellow black eye susan and blanket flower, I just had to make the best of what I got.



But today, like every morning, I went outside to my garden and found out that its not white, its the color that I wanted, pink. I felt so grateful with the Lord, he blesses me every moment. I thought that I had to write something about it.






I just finish reading a devotional that my dear cousin from Texas sends me every morning and it talks about being thankful and how we sometimes fail to count all our blessings, like waking up more healthy than ill, not being persecuted, having food in our refrigerator, having money in the bank, or wallet, or spare change in our pocket, having parents that are still married and more. I agree with the devotional there is too much that we should be thankful to the Lord, I feel like a spoiled child,when I think of all the things He has blessed me with, like my new pink flower.
