Who Can Make it Happen?

As I stepped out on to the deck I noticed how
much the Aloe plant has been growing .
When I took a closer look I noticed that there
are three buds on the plant. I didn't know
that Aloe plants had blossoms. I
wonder what color will the blossoms be?

In my curiosity I am reminded of an
incident when a small child opened up
the bud of a rose, expecting to see a
beautiful flower; however, the flower
was not fully developed so instead
of a beautiful rose was only separate
pieces. Only God can cause the buds
of a plant to open into beautiful blossoms.

If a shell is broken open before the baby
bird or chick is fully developed only
death is evident. Only God can cause the
baby to crack open the shell when it is
fully developed.

Sometimes in our life we encounter trials
that seem to last so long. Perhaps we try
to "help God out" in some way thinking
we can make it happen and things get really
messed up. Last night I saw the most beautiful
rainbow. I am reminded that God always keeps
His promises! Only He can make it happen.
