NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD

"Ah, Lord God!  Behold, You have made
the heavens and the earth by Your great
power and outstretched arm.  There is
nothing too hard for You."
(Jeremiah 32:17)




Last summer (2013), a friend gave me a beautiful geranium plant that I put out on my balcony.  It flourished for a while and had many beautiful flowers, but then the stinkbugs got to it (as you can see in the two pictures on your left in the collage--or by clicking here or here.)

The infestation was so bad I had to throw the plant out, but before doing so, I saved one small green stem with a couple of unaffected leaves on it. The cutting sat in a pot on my windowsill all winter long, neither dying nor showing signs of growth, but then one day it started to bud, and now is full of flowers again.

Whenever I look at it, I am reminded to keep my eyes on the Lord and to never give up, because nothing is impossible with God.
