The daffodils are up and I'm smiling


As an inner city pastor at Zion, Ft. Wayne, heavily involved in reviving the neighborhood, I'd spot flowers in abandoned lots. In the spring I'd dig up these abandoned daffodils and other flowers and plant them at home. In the move to St. Louis in 2001, I took quite a few bulbs with me. These flowers have always been a source of joy and thankfulness midst the most challenging of life's situations. Like Christ's own mercy, they keep coming, ever new, and always with joy.

We had such an early spring out here that our daffodils are almost finished already!
