Flowers Make Us Happy for Tomorrow’s…

It is Time for the Next Chapter… a Magical New Beginning

Dear Reader!

Today marks an opportunity to perhaps experience the next chapter in my own life …that would be “magical” … and since God is our greatest ” Magician” I am leaving it in His Trusting Hands to guide me.

But in the meantime He sent me Susan and Mandy to create two overwhelmingly gorgeous flowery abundant containers flowing with potential colors of every prism.

Yellow and white daffodils lavender zinnias, purple hyacinth , pink tulips, green and white and pink cabbages and kale. Multi-colored pansies, violets and snap dragons. ( am sure I have left out some! )

Nobody can get more bulbs in a container than Susan Swicegood! Mandy’s eyes grew bigger as Susan kept asking for more bulbs!

And then yesterday morning ( Monday) I woke up to a rainy cloudy, windy “burr cold” day, and two daffodils per container were magically starting to open up ..as of this blog writing at (5:30 PM) yesterday … look what they accomplished inside … staring out at a completely gray day!!!The miracle of the flowers in our lives.

What a magical way to brighten a cloudy rainy day! Thank you daffodils for leading the way!

The two containers are already bringing me such color and joy I know God has provided me much hope through the beauty of flowers to trust Him as He leads me through the changes of life!

He only, is in charge of my path plan of life! Magic! And Prayer!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

” I wandered lonely as a cloud” … Wordsworth’s admission that when he is lost …God provides beauty in nature ( Daffodils) and the experience brings Hope Amen! …brightness, and positivity!

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”

    As I read your blog and looked at the beautiful flowers, I was reminded that today is our Abigail’s 10th birthday! Can you believe that? I can remember when neither of us had grandchildren – and now look at us. So much to be grateful for. So much hope and promise for the future. So many reasons to thank our Sweet Lord. So much beauty to enjoy. Bless your girls for making those beautiful arrangements for you to enjoy. Flowers always give me peace and hope. May you find peace and hoope in those beautiful gifts from people you love. And I love you, too.
