I was taking my morning walk with my sister in law and we decided to add to our normal walk. So we went in one of our fields that the cows graze in.  When we turned around to walk home there was this pretty wild rose along the fence. The plant is only about 2-5 inches tall only 1 rose on it but I thought it was a very pretty rose. There are other rose plants there but only 1 had a rose. It automatically cheered me up not that I was down but I just needed a little cheering up.  I thought immediately how gracious my God is. You see I did not walk that way normally and there had been cows in it a few days before and this little plant never got trampled or laid on. Today I went back to the same place and the petals were already falling off so the life span of that rose was pretty short. It struck me as coincidental that I just happened to walk that way when it bloomed.  Now you might be wondering who my walking partner is well she is my sister in law. My brother married a wonderful lady and they ended up moving east from California and landing here in Wisconsin. I am so glad they are here for the first time I have family that are actually staying for awhile (they plan on at least a year) but they both have jobs and are getting roots started here. I enjoy having MY family close by. I was the first one of my siblings that left the area we grew up in. I have stayed away the longest, i have not been back since 95. I moved because I knew God was leading me to move way out to the great unknown of Wisconsin (haha).  Eventually my sister came out to but she soon did not need her big sister to show her around she eventually got a life of her own. That life eventually took her 2 hrs away. My brother went to California and soon followed by another brother. The middle brother recently moved to Kentucky and my brother moved here not long after. The only one still in the original state is the oldest but he is a couple hrs from where we grew up.  

So what is God showing you? Where is God taking you? For what?
