On our way out to take a walk this morning, an angel thought nudged, go take a look at little Gracie, our resident juniper bonsai on the back porch.
Sure enough, a new story had sprung up in the miniature garden box.
A big single umbrella capped mushroom had blossomed. The biggest one so far, and the only one present. A closer look revealed how it was bent on leaning forward, stretching toward the light. The tiny spider's spiral web was still intact on the bonsai's green bough. By the way, I named her Faith, and she, too had expanded her web with wispy wings that extended her territory.
What I took away from this endearing scenario was how important it is not to underestimate the power of one to make a change in the world. One juniper bonsai, one single mushroom, one tiny spider, one willing person, all creating a message of light together. After all, one plus God is a majority, and that's the only thing that counts in the end.
Love and many blessings,
Rae Karen
