"...how often I have longed to gather your children together,
as a hen gathers her chicks..."
~Matthew 23:37 (in case you miss the connection, this plant is commonly known as a 'hen and chicks' plant)
...thoughts about everyday life--with its joys and sorrows and oh, so many mysteries-- about opening our eyes to see God's hand and HEART in the details of daily life and about learning to hear His whispers of love in the midst of a shouting world...
You don't have a soul.
You are a soul.
You have a body.
--CS Lewis
Before me,
Even as behind,
God is,
And all is well...~Whittier
How cute, I used to have one and need to get one again. My granny always said "hen and biddies".
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little girl our next door neighbor loved those plants and had a whole bunch. I haven't thought of them in years and am enjoying the memory ... and especially the verse!
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested, I did a post on this a little while back, Under His Wings. I hope it's okay with you for me to put the link here. (You're more than welcome to delete this if you'd prefer not to have the link.)
Yep, I was one of the clueless ones, although I am fascinated by the fact this is called that. It really does seem like an apt name.
