Prosper wherever you are planted.
The Lord “Plants” His People.
“Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.” Exodus 15:17
The picture with the carved totem was at our maternal grandparents’ home. Our grandfather was an artist. He found art in almost everything. As an example he made a cement hippopotamus out of an old water heater. His artwork included painting, manufacturing in metal, iron, wood and stone, and carving. One day an old yucca plant had grown like a weed and wreaked havoc in the yard and needed removal. Once gramps removed it he noticed the look of the plant and had an idea to carve it into a head, with the root system as the hair. It sat in his garage for more than 5 years waiting for that sculpting. When he finished carving it, he dug a spot for it in the yard. A few months later it grew a mustache.
Despite its ugly beginning, that yucca plant brought us laughter and joy in its unique ability to grow and thrive.
People that endure, like that plant, and “prosper wherever they are planted,” cannot be stopped!
