Today's reading: Jeremiah 1-6
"Then the Lord said to me, Look, Jeremiah! What do you see? And I replied, I see a branch from an almond tree. And the Lord said, That's right, and it means that I am watching, and I will surely carry out my threats of punishment." Jeremiah 1:11-12 NLT
Reading this verse took my mind and heart back 410 days and 6,404 miles to a sight I saw while in Israel...
Miles and miles of almond trees in bloom.
Beautiful pale, pink blossoms on stark leafless trees.
Blurs of pink from the tour bus window.
Acres of pink across the landscape is Israel.
Sign upon sign of the fact that God was, and is--and always will be, watching over me.
God has tickled my heart this morning. Tickled it pink!
