Everyday

Everyday when I go home I pause on the doorstep to my building and I closely examine the two huge flower pots on either side of the door. The pot on the right is full of different kinds of flowers with vibrant colors. Sadly, the flower pot on the left side of the door is just dirt. It’s not pretty and if it wasn’t for the sense of balance that it provides to the aesthetics of the building it would otherwise be worthless. At one time the pot of dirt was also overflowing with flowers but now it’s empty; I know why and it’s my fault. I clumsily knocked it over in a rush to get where I wanted to go. I tried to scoop what was left of the dirt and the flowers back into the pot, but they died and for many months nothing has grown back. After plenty of time, rain, and sunshine I noticed a green sprout shooting up through the dirt! I was so excited. Now everyday when I get home I anxiously approach the pot to see how the little seed is growing. I’m rooting for it, because deep down I AM the pot on the left. Be careful what you invest your heart in, I am thankful that God can restore any situation despite our failures and persistence to have things our way because we THINK we know what is best.

I wish I may I wish I might
