Tonight as I was getting ready for bed I noticed something different on my Christmas cactus. Upon closer inspection it looked like a bloom! It is definitely not the plants blooming season and since I have low vision I asked my husband Ron to come take a look. Sure enough there is a single bloom on this Christmas cactus. How odd! This beautiful plant belonged to my Nanny, Dads mom. It usually blooms mid to late November, around Nanny’s birthday. She’s been gone for several years but lived to be 101.
As I noticed this single bloom tonight my heart was full of wonder. I’ve never been one to notice “signs”, most likely because I can’t see well. BUT I saw this single bloom! It has me wondering if there is some significance.
This coming Sunday my husband Ron will reach a milestone birthday. I won’t reveal the number but he definitely does not look his age. This Sunday will also be my Dad’s second heavenly birthday. I sure do miss him but know he’s with Jesus. The tulip tree we planted in his honor is in full bloom. Now I see this single unusual bloom on Nanny’s cactus. Maybe I’m over thinking but for whatever reason, it makes my heart feel light. I hope to see this little beauty open into full flower. I will wait and see what happens.
I better get to bed. I had intended to go to bed early but just had to blog about this beautiful surprise. Good night everyone.
Thank you Lord for this bright moment to end my day. You are full of wonder and I never cease to be in awe of you.
