We had all the kids over for a fish fry this week, so I grabbed five vases from the kitchen cupboard and five pairs of kid scissors and headed to the backyard.
The grandkids love cutting flowers from the yard, which I tend to micromanage, but this time I let them loose. Cut any flowers you want and enjoy them because that’s why God gave them to us. Well, us and the pollinators!
Shining the joy of Jesus into the lives of our grandkids doesn’t require excessive time or extravagant projects. It just requires us to seize the simplest opportunities to celebrate the simplest truths. Like the simple truth that God made every flower to flood the earth with joy!
