morning glory

The morning glories in my backyard have caught my eye these last few days. It finally seems worth the effort to start these plants indoors half a year ago (February)!


I love that a tiny seed morphs into such a large plant that bursts with new blooms every morning. By afternoon, the flowers on these Morning Glories, and even the foliage start to wither. The following morning, the plants have perked up and dozens of new blooms have emerged.

I'm going to risk sounding like a musical by breaking into song here. But the words of this old hymn are coming to mind as I think about this daily miracle...

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning, new every morning
Great is Your faithfulness

GREAT is your faithfulness.
