This Is What I Requested of the Lord for my Birthday.

I noticed something a bit different a few times that I have walked recently. One day I was walking and I kept smelling the scent of frankenscense. I was on the road where the fields are and I know that is not a scent I frequently smell when I walk that road. When I turned around that day to head home I did not smell the scent at all. Just yesterday as I was walking on that same road I breathed in a new scent a few times that day it was the sweet, fragrant aroma as if a gardenia was growing somewhere by the road. There are no gardenias in this area. Do you think God is doing a new thing with me?
On my birthday I was having my prayer time and having a little chat with Jesus and in the stillness of my heart He asked me what I wanted for my birthday. My response to him in my thoughts (just so you know I am not having a verbal conversation in which I am talking outl loud.) My simple request was this, "Bless Israel in a special way today, that is my request." Well, you see He honored that request. When I went into work there was a vase with roses in it amongst other gifts too at my desk. I admired their beauty as I was working and for some reason I looked at the tag that came with this unique vase that held the roses. It stated that it was made in Israel. You see I saw my simple request filled this very day. It was through my birthday that a co-worker purchased roses for me and of all the vases that could have been selected the vase that was made in Israel was chosen. You cannot convince me otherwise that God does not hear and honor your requests no matter how big or small they may be. I am so impressed with this vase. It is innovative and caught my attention. Think of this, it is an expandable vase and it will not break or chip and you can fold it when not in use.
I believe Fall is coming earlier than normal this year. Look at the trees and notice the leaves already changing. In the Fall I trim back my hydrangea's and ornamental grasses for the upcoming Winter and then they are ready to grow again in the Spring. I found myself trimming the hydrangea's today. One of my ornamental grass grows really tall and the most beautiful plumes burst forth. It is not time to trim that back yet for the plume's have not come forth. Do you notice that Fall is coming upon us quickly this year?
