I guess from my wife’s point of view, the delicacy and fragrance of a blossoming flower are in the voice that comforts it. When God speaks to me, I also blossom. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story you talking to?" She looked at me, gave me one of her contagious smiles, and said, "I'm talking to my flowers. Aren't they beautiful?" Being a husband for as long as I have been, I know what it's like to be in a position where you don't know what to say. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. For anybody to talk to flowers was pretty silly as far as I was concerned. After a short pause, I responded, "Do they ever talk back?" Laughing for a moment, she replied, "Silly boy, they're flowers, and flowers don't talk." She then went back to her flowers, and I could hear her still talking to them. Evidently, her talking to them was working out because all of the flowers were blooming quite beautifully. I went back to my office and began reflecting on this. I can understand talking to a dog or a cat or even a horse. But when you talk to a flower, it just doesn't make sense to me. On further reflection, if talking to flowers is beneficial to their growth, who in the world am I to question that. The end result is the flower, and that's what we appreciate. As I was pondering this, I decided to look up some Scripture along this line, and I found one that blessed my heart. "The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land” (Song of Solomon 2:12). I guess from my wife's point of view, the delicacy and fragrance of a blossoming flower are in the voice that comforts it. When God speaks to me, I also blossom. Tweet
