something beautiful

Sometimes things in our lives get messed up.  They get wrecked.  This post is just a reminder that things don't have to stay wrecked forever.

I posted a few weeks ago about how sad we were that our big beautiful palm tree was killed by an infestation of beetles.  I had to take it down and take it out.  Funny as it sounds, we were sad about it.  It was a beautiful tree.

 

 

 

 

The canary island date palm died.

Our yard had a very sad spot.

 

 Then there was planning and working.  We wanted to make it better.  I came up with a new idea.  I moved the stone border.  I planted anew.  Sometimes when life hurts, you have to get up and start again.

Left to right... foxtail palm.  Hawain T's [pink] Dark red crotans.  Yellow crotans.  Christmas palm.

And what was dead has come back to life.  What was a sad corner, is now again a happy sight.

And so it can be in other areas that are ravaged by the difficulties of life.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
