LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE WILDFLOWERS-LESSON 1 "Looking to Jesus"

The other day, while taking our family walk, I picked some pretty wildflowers for my kitchen windowsill.
 I know, I know!  I am always taking pictures of flowers on my windowsill, but that is my most favorite place of my kitchen. When we found out I was expecting our second child, we had to rearrange some of the rooms in our house to accommodate our new little blessing.  My husband knew that the one thing that I absolutely wanted was a kitchen window that looked out on our backyard. The original kitchen in our house looked out into the next room. It had absolutely NO windows looking on the outside.
Well, these wildflowers have taught me a few lessons. The next few posts will be about my "Lessons Learned from the Wildflowers".
LESSON 1:
When we got home from our walk, I promptly put the flowers in a vase, nicely arranging them as best as I could. I thought they looked so "country" and pretty. See below picture.

I got up the next morning, and the flowers were actually leaning towards the other side. I thought that someone had turned the vase. I promptly turned them back so that they looked again as the above pictures.
This same thing happened by the end of the day.
Of course, I asked my boys which one was messing with the vase, and both denied any touching. I then took a closer look at the flowers. This is what I saw:

If you'll look closely, some of the flowers have actually turned towards the window. To be exact, they have turned towards the SUN. That is why they kept leaning in another direction.
I thought about my Christian walk. Am I trying my hardest to lean towards the SON, God's Son, Jesus? Whatever my circumstances, am I looking towards Jesus, no matter what happens?
These flowers reminded me to make more effort to keep my personal and family devotion times, to spend more time in prayer, to try to listen more closely to what the Lord is trying to tell me, to hold on to Jesus and know that He knows everything that is going on and won't let me go.
When my boys were little babies, no matter who was in the room, they were always craning their necks to find me. All they had to do was hear my voice, and they started looking.
We should be like that with Jesus. No matter who or what is around us, we should always be looking to Jesus. If we keep Him at the head of our lives, we won't go wrong! Hallelujah!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
