Mending A Broken Heart with Flowers

The best medicine that I can think of for an emotionally broken heart is flowers.  They are smiles from God.  I was worried yesterday about my dad and some test he was having at the hospital today, so I went and bought more flowers.  My yard is going to be beautiful when they all start growing and blooming.   Those flowers must have helped because we got some good news today.  My dad's heart is strong and healthy other than a failing aortic valve.  Next stop is the surgeon's office.  The cardiologist seemed very optimistic, as my dad is in good health otherwise for his age.  My dad seemed relieved even though it will be a risky surgery to replace the valve.  The alternative is of course is heart failure. Let's pray that God keeps smiling down on us.

I am posting a picture of my first green bell pepper from the garden.  It is growing right in the center of the picture.  I was so excited, as I did not expect it so soon.  I love watching everything grow in the garden.  The tomato plants are huge and getting blooms.  It will not be long before we have tomatoes.  Ah, yes plants are beautiful and another symbol of life. 

Some flowers are also blooming in the yard.  I just love summer.  It is my favorite  time of year.      
                       
My heart will rest a little easy tonight.  I pray my dad's dreams come true.  

Life is beautiful!!
