God's Diamonds

Dont you just love it when God gives you eye candy in nature which shows his wonder. 
This is written about one of these times.


Looking at the leaves
Roses not coming just yet
Colored rust and green.

Early morning sun
Shining down on the garden
Mottled shade and sun.

Suddenly I see
Diamonds shining everywhere.
Where do they come from.

They’re a gift of God
Delightful and beautiful
Dew drops on each leaf.

And then I notice
The leaves are rimmed with small spikes
Edges scalloped points.

It comes to my mind
That life gives challenge too
Spikes to climb over.

But it’s when we climb
If we will learn His lessons
God’s diamonds are won.

What a great reminder of what will be before us if we choose God's wisdom during those difficult times. This is a beautiful poem Corinne.
