God's Tender Care

Garden grasses are beautiful this time of year. They grow all year then by fall they add their beautiful plumage. I always loved seeing pampas grass in ditches where it grew tall and lovely so it could sway in the wind. There are many grasses available to gardeners these days. We have four different kinds in our yard. They add height and texture to landscaping.The picture shows tall flame grass (lower) and rose fountain grass at the top, both as seen from our deck.

"God clothes the grass for the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" (Matthew 6:30 NIV).

The picture also shows part of John's pampered lawn. It is beautiful and lush even though it needs rain. Grass is often overlooked. Not John's lawn. It is like a carpet of green.

Grass is under appreciated and sometimes ignored until it needs to be mown. I like grass even if it is common; it is a reminder of God's tender care for us, as the scripture says. Have faith, child.
