From my back deck you can see the park, and a sidewalk follows our property line. Every day somebody is walking or riding their bikes on this sidewalk.
Yesterday I glanced up and saw a neighbor stop and look at my pink Cosmos. I love to grow Cosmos, but I usually have pink, purple and white. This year I only have soft pink. I started them from seeds in the spring and was surprised to see their light color. I was touched to see somebody stop and appreciate their beauty.
Later that night I ran into this same neighbor as we walked our dog. She stopped and asked me about my garden.
Such a simple thing connected us. It makes me wonder how many simple ways we can reach out and connect with others.
Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...
Jesus told us to go out and make disciples. Maybe it's as easy as sharing an appreciation of a flower.
