Yesterday Precious Husband reminded me to go check our cactus because it was ready to bloom at any time now. The pictures below show you what the cactus looked like yesterday.
Today I got up and grabbed my cup of coffee along with my phone to capture the beauty of the fully bloomed cactus flowers.
Seeing these flowers and knowing that tomorrow the beautiful pink blooms will be limp and hanging down toward their pot and dirt. Such a short lived beauty they are.
Such is our life. So quick and fleeting are our days. So beautiful but so delicate and fragile in so many ways.
I am reminded by this beautiful fully bloomed cactus that life must be appreciated now, today. We have no promise of tomorrow. Truly I remember that I know not what the future holds but I know Who holds my future. I am so glad I can trust in the love and goodness of God and I will strive to see the beauty of each day He gives me.

BUT the word of our God shall stand for ever. ❤

Every day I thank God for you! You are more beautiful than any flower. We have lasted over 36 years. I do love you so.
Thank you for visiting Lisa. I enjoy sharing here on my little slice of blogland.
Hello Mrs Paul,
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet encouraging note.
It's been a joy visiting you today and admiring your lovely photos. I think I may have mentioned this last time I visited that my cousins are part French and they called their grandmother memere also. I always thought that was such a pretty name.
God bless you
Hugs from Shirley
