Lotus Flower
Have you ever paid attention to a lotus flower? Honestly, until last summer, I had not, at least not much. We had a cottage up in Northern Michigan and it had two swamps on it. The kids loved going over there to look for frogs and my husband loved telling them stories about when he was young and he'd fall in and how his sister's Scooby Doo flip flop just popped up to the surface after years of being gone. I think both my boys fell into the swamp at least once every year we visited. They reminded me of quick sand and those cheesy movies where people would just sink. Eek! I was always a little freaked out by the swamps. I knew they were filled with life but I don't like tall grass and I especially don't like it touching me. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. I'd take the kids over there so they could check things out. I always found the lotus flower absolutely amazing. It was the only thing blooming in that swampy water. How? One of God's beaut...
