We didn’t have to drive far afield
to search for a poppy field.
I envisioned a sea of red,
but came across a sea of blue instead!
We didn’t find one, but we did find a field of Cornflowers (Bachelor Buttons).
My backyard cornflowers are still weeks away from flowering so coming across a field of these was a treat.
I was happy to find some traces of poppies in the field, so the quest wasn’t a total bust. Sometimes, our hearts are set on something, but the One who knows all things says, “I have something else for you.” What He gives is good (Matthew 7:11).
“Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:3-6
