Plants..

I was thinking about plants yesterday.

I am (well when I say I..I mean husband) decorating our dining room at the moment. I am told that I’m archaic in still having a dining room with a table & chairs, a place to gather and eat together, it’s not the modern way. This room should be re-purposed..a home office, a home gym..mmm not so easy to gather and eat around a running machine. I think I’ll leave it be..a dining room was its purpose and that suits me.

Anyway I digress. In the preparation I had to find new homes for my plants..there is a collection of orchids and other succulents. Where to put them.

Plants like their spot..some thrive in the sun, partial shade or shade. A bit like us.

I know people that thrive when they are put in the spotlight, they bloom and grow in that environment. It stimulates them and they flourish.

Others are more happy in the background, in the shade. They do their best work there.

Plants need looking after..food, water, soil and light. Just like we need our nutrients to thrive and grow.

In the process, I replanted some of the plants which had outgrown their containers and needed some space. We all need a bit of room to breathe and grow. I changed their soil and gave them some food..now to wait and see how they do in their new homes.

Plants..it’s amazing what you can learn from a plant.

“Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭92‬:‭13-15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
