I was walking in the woods and didn't see the blooming flowers from the Buckeye tree. I had no idea that they were still in bloom but as I reached down for a stick my dog had left in my path for me to find there was the sweet fregrance of the Buckeye. It reminded me of how so often we go about our lives not noticing the blessings that the Lord surrounds us with. He doesn't quit giving them if we neglect to notice them but in his mercy he continues to bless us. How sad our lives would be if God were to give up on us as quickly as we give up on people.
It also reminds me of the carnation flower. When I was a child they all had the wonderful spicy scent but as the years have passed man in his "wisdom" has bred out the scent that makes them prized by so many people. How sad to find one that has no smell.
