I have a small garden in the balcony of my second floor apartment. My plants do not always seem to respond to my care, but then all of a sudden a flower blooms! Here’s a pic of my yellow hibiscus with the tender raindrops of the monsoon on its petals.

For everything under the sun, there is a season, said the writer of Ecclesiastes, and how true it is. Whatever we may do or desire, the Creator takes His own time and things happen as ordained by Him. It is He who gives everyone life and breath and everything else (Acts 17:25). That’s why even some of the smallest or most insignificant things around us have such beauty and can give us great joy.

Truly, if we reach out for God, He is never far from us (Acts 17:27).  —pic and post submitted by Dr. Ranjan Kelkar, India
