I was cleaning out some of our flower beds today, yes it is January and I live somewhere were there is normally a lot of snow. Well there is almost no snow on the ground and it has been really nice weather. Probably too nice for January. This picture reminded me of what I saw in the flower beds.
We have day lilies maybe to many of them but they are really beautiful when them are blooming. We didn't get two of our beds cleaned out and the Day Lilies just stayed there and covered the beds up with they're long leaves, if that is what you call them. Underneath them I found a pot with a flower in it that was living and doing quite well even though it should have been dead. It was still alive from the protection that it had gotten from the Lilies and moisture from the snow that had fallen. Even though the temperature seems warmer than normal there have been some real cold snaps. Thanksgiving was around -10 at night for a few nights, and a lot of 0's for the first week in January.
My point. We may feel beat buried, froze out, burned out half dead and just ready to give up, but there is some type of protection that we have that has and is saving us and protecting us from the storm that is raging around us. Just hang in there and there will be growth. There is not one person that does not go through something in their life were they feel battered and bruised. And there is always some type of Lily there helping us through.
