The enjoyment of walking around
the yard shooting these photos (yes they are all the same tree- just featuring
different angles and splashes of color) caused me to think about being
hidden. How many times have we been in a
crowd and felt no one noticed we were there? How often it takes years for employers to
recognize the “jewel” in their midst as their focus is on production rather
than those in the process that truly make it possible? How many families have that one child who
just doesn’t get the same attention as all the others and yet they have very
special qualities? I have been married
many years and it never ceases to amaze me that I can learn something new about
my husband still to this day- or come to appreciate something he does I have
always taken for granted.
Today I am defining something
hidden simply as something we are not looking for. Many times I find myself so overwhelmed or so
busy I don’t even look around. Yet
taking a moment today to explore my own front yard I found a reason to smile
and appreciate “my world”.

he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:8
