My sister-in-law gave me an amaryllis bulb for Christmas. The day after Christmas I planted it and set in the middle of our dinning room table. Over the last month we have enjoyed watching the stem sprout and grow.
Then the last week of January Cincinnati spent days shut down from a mixture of ice and snow. Schools closed. Tree limbs snapped taking down power lines. Roads become ice rinks. We were among the fortunate who never lost our electricity.
During the storm my amaryllis plant began to open. First one bud followed by another and another. By the time the snow was melting five budding flowers formed a royal crown.
I enjoyed the beauty of the snow and lacy ice cycles. But, I also enjoyed a pleasant reminder of spring. Isn’t it just like our loving Heavenly Father to plant a seed and germinate it to bloom at the perfect time!
