We’re enjoying the mature garden we’ve inherited with our home. It’s stunning to see all sorts of flowers, bushes and wildlife taking shelter in the various places that such a garden creates. Our house sits in ¼ acre, so there is plenty of it!
We’ve spent time, recently, mowing the grass, and trimming the hedges - our home is almost completely hedged in by hedges, which we love!
We’ve been blessed by the garden, and the hedges. But, with the changing of the seasons, it is all growing quite rapidly.
That growth is a good sign of health in the vegetation, although it also means we have to get out the mower and hedge trimmer to keep it all under control.
One of those bushes, however, is sitting untouched by us. When you see all the neatly trimmed hedges around it, that mess stands out even more! Because, you see, this particular bush is also home to a pair of goldfinches and their nest.
We watched them busily building it, and now Mrs Goldfinch is sitting in there waiting for those eggs to hatch.
It’s amazing!
In life we can see mess in someone’s life, but that mess can be a really good sign of growth. So, let’s not mistake mess, for something bad. It could, just as easily, be due to growth.
Just a thought…
