Little Red Flowers

God gave me what was best not just good.

May 8

I have wanted to plant a border of verbena in my garden since last year. I found two blush colored Verbena last year in the clearance section near the end of the summer. I thought I would see what they would look like as they grew and how they would do in the garden, especially over the winter before I made the decision. They are exactly what I have been looking for. So beautiful and full of tiny, little flowers all season and late into fall. I haven't been able to locate the color I already had and was a little disappointed. Yesterday, I found some red ones and wondered how they would look. I do like the color, it's just not what I had originally thought of. So I bought two and brought them home. My husband loved them and told me if I gave him a little time, he would go back to the store with me to get them. I told him we need to go sooner rather than later because they won't last. By the time we got to the store they only had four left. I was so disappointed. My husband said he would call some stores in the morning and see if he could locate the rest of the flowers we needed. Last week I had been the one to call all over town trying to get the original color, with no luck, and just didn't want to do it.

Before I even got out of bed this morning he came in a said he found them and they have them on hold waiting for us. We went to get them this morning and I actually like the red better than my original plan. God knew. He gave me what was best, not just what I thought I wanted. When we got home my husband came out to the garden and helped me plant everything! We spent the day together working outside making our garden beautiful. The weather was beautiful. All the flowers are gorgeous and it makes me feel loved and cared for. It is a simple thing, but God and my husband blessed me with flowers and time.
