Purple 4

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 8 November 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

This ground orchid plant was so grateful for a series of rainy days we've had recently that it bloomed joyfully, and in this beautiful orchid color -- just right for my purple series.

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 07/26/08. Saturday. Bella's good this morning; walk was fun/no squirrels, but we did a different block than usual. She likes variety. Breakfast -- meds soon, the post-walk routine. She slept better last night than the one before. Panting still, but it's hot. So, thank you God for another morning blessing today.

Bella and I are grateful for each of you, for caring and singing (love is all around...), and especially for praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.

What we have right now are day by day blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle, slowly unfolding.
