A Jungle

May was "no mow May" month and I tried hard to not mow but got sympathy from a neighbor who anonymously did the good deed!  I then got the name of someone who wanted a mowing job so I called him. My yard really has begun looking like a jungle.

He came Friday and instead of mowing saw the poor shape of my entire yard, offering suggestions, telling me his past experiences; he jumped right in to digging weeds and separating flowers!  I couldn't believe his excitement and acting like this yardwork was play to him!

Have you ever received a "gift" that fell out of heaven into your lap and  marveled again at God's goodness?  This has been happening to me a lot lately. 

Yesterday he saw my cedar trees and being taller than I am he had to duck just walking in the yard.  These never caught my attention like it did him!  But, he was so excited to cut limbs and branches I thought he was cutting all the trees down; you should see the piles of branches he tied up for disposal!

He has worked 6 hrs. in a couple of days and the yard is till not cut nor edged, but you should see how the "jungle" parts of the yard are looking; my heart soars like a hawk!

My life, too, sometimes looks like a jungle.  Often I don't even realize it. When situations creep up on me from behind, it isn't until someone else says something, or with my own spiritual director, a word or situation will be reflected back to me that awareness occurs.

I walk away amazed at how God has been working in my life. Has this ever occurred to you? Have you ever considered connecting with someone who could be this gift in your life, especially in a jungle!! Think about it.
