Inner Dialogue

You know, I really don't like cactus. All pokey and thorny and dull greenish grey in color. I had plans to yank out a small cactus when I do the landscaping project out front but I might have to reconsider. Rachel came running in this morning telling me that I had to come see... so I did. Wow, what a treat!

Had I pulled it out, I would have missed the beautiful flower that bloomed today. I think, perhaps, that sometimes it's like that with people also. They seem all thorny and not very approachable, but given the right climate, they can open up and blossom. There is a season for all things if one is but patient enough to wait for the right time.
