H for Harmony

Man lives in enduring harmony

In the wonderful vast universe

With all its creatures, varied and  diverse
Some big and some tiny.

Some hostile  and many gentle

Some rugged and a few fearful

Some harmful and many helpful

While many are simply beautiful.

The colourful  butterfkies and the humming  bees

The mighty forests with the giant trees

The tall mountains with snow clad peaks

The flooded rivers coursing the countries

The turbulent seas staying within  shores

The seasonal rains unfailingly falls

The sun, moon and stars making regular seasons

The nature's fury is restrained always.

Man in peace manages to reside
With all of God's creations side by side

Grateful to the Lord for blessings countless

Basking in His love that is ever boundless

Today's Flowers: T for Thankfulness

Eyes seized its beauty
Hands clasped it so tenderly
My heart swells with joy.

And I pause for a moment, to say a prayer of thankfulness....

Thank you my dear Lord
for these beautiful flowers
and for the bountiful showers!

Thank you my dear Lord
their beauty adorns every bower
and not leaving  even the high tower!

Thank you my dear Lord
for your awesome amazing  power
and one that none can overpower!

Thank you my dear Lord
for your presence in our midst ever
gracious is your love withdrawn never.

For by grace we are saved through faith

Not by good works, lest any man should boast

It is the gift of God!

Healing the Lonely Heart!

Are you lonely?

Look at the flowers 

bathed  in morning dew…

Are you depressed?

Smell the flowers filled 

with  sweet fragrance…

Are you broken hearted?

Admire the flowers 

clothed in various hues…

Do the sweet soft petals

Smile at you as the flower enthralls?

A wondrous creation indeed

from nature's heaven

Ridding the mind of tiresome burden!

Fair and beautiful flowers

Some blooming in the morning grass

Some adorning the lovely bowers

And a few still in buds like a bashful lass

The humming bees hovering in rapturous glee

With chirping birds flying in a musical spree...

When you look at

the colorful, beautiful flowers

Do they fill you with boundless passion?

suffusing your heart with pure love?

caressing softly your empty soul?

filling it in plenty with joyous dreams?

Yes, God is omniscient 

He knows how to heal

the lonely, the depressed

the broken-hearted...

Let us thank Him for

these flowers galore!

Notes on the photos: I took these photos yesterday, in my best friend's house. A few years back, I grew these Euphorbias in front of our house, but when the owner reclaimed the area I had been temporarily using to put up their residential home, it made me sad to give up the hobby I had enjoyed so much. 

One pot of a newly propagated variety would cost me from 300p to 500 pesos the most. I was Euphorbia- crazy back then. I learned that these flowering plants thrived best in tropical countries like Philippines. It is learnt that these beautiful plants came from Thailand some ten years back. I still have more photos to share, come next week. These are just some of the varieties.
