Exotic flowers trumpet from the six courgette plants I’ve
got growing outside my bedroom window. Baby courgettes lengthen imperceptibly.
One courgette has reached a stage to be cut and eaten – I think. I’ve not grown
these before. I am not quite sure when to harvest, when to leave.
I do know that if I leave them too long, they will swell
into marrows (squash), and the taste will change, will not be so delicate, so
delicious.
This is one tiny decision to be made in my life, today or tomorrow.
A decision which I trust will be guided by someone who knows more than I do.
Yes, maybe a gardening friend, but also perhaps the divine gardener himself can
guide me into the right course of action.
We are heading into Aberdeen to see the Tall Ships. We go
with some misgivings. We’ve changed our minds about taking the bus, reasoning
that it might entail more walking than we are up to. More walking in the rain,
which is forecast. We are pulling the plugs on all our internet and telephone
stuff before leaving the house, in case the thunderstorms in the forecast
arrive while we are away. Been there – done that – having holes blown in motherboards
by a direct hit, telephones disabled by power surges.
Every day involves decisions major and minor. Lord, would
you guide my every thought, word and action today and every day. So grateful
that Jesus is my ever-present companion, his Spirit in me my guide and advisor.
May I listen well and obey, today and every day.
PS (I couldn’t post because Don had already pulled the
internet plugs…we had a great day. Praise the Lord!)
