Mimosa Tree Life


The mimosa tree is one of the last to send out its leaves in the spring.
It's fair to say that every year I think, "Well, the mimosa's dead."
But then suddenly, there they are—sensitive, green leaf fronds. 

Then soon, the tiny balled clusters that almost look like berries.

And when you least expect it ... 
pow.
You look over your shoulder to see a tree covered with silky-pink blooms.

Do you find that pattern repeated in life? I do. 
Something I'm looking forward to is delayed, so I decide it's never going to happen. 
I buy into the idea that hope is dead, the blessing is removed, and I should move on.

Then ... 
pow. 
God does one of His best works.

Consider the story of Joseph. 
Sitting in a pit and then in a jail, he must have thought his dreams 
were dead, swept away, maybe even a mistake. 
Except they weren't—the story has its own pow.
