This photograph taken on the first day of 2015 brings back some memories.
This was the first lot of butter cup flowers we had since a few cuttings were planted. Aswathy and Anandit brought the cuttings from a garden they saw on their way from Vellore to our home. During the last one year, we were able to plant the cuttings in different places in our garden that there are hundreds of flowers adding colour to the green meadow.
From a few to plenty!
As I meditate on this growth, what comes to me as my calling is to bear fruit where we are planted!
Each of us is older by one more year in 2016. Our growth is more inner than physical once we reached our adulthood!
This indeed is our identity that we become more wholistic in our inner being as we grow older! The inner ambience of contentment and gratefulness would make us more forbearing and caring that we spread an aroma of healing and hope through our being and doing!
We can rejoice as we look forward to 2016 because, 'when we are weak, we shall be made strong' because God cares and provides!
