Petals in the Wind

The fruit trees around our house are in full blossom. It smells fabulous and they're gorgeous to look at. The bummer of it all, is they don't last long. The life of a flower is really short-lived. I sat outside and watched some of the petals get blown away by the wind. It just kind of reminded me how fragile life really is and how short the time is that we're here on earth. Thankfully, God has a plan for us. Once we have blossomed and those around us have witnessed our beauty, our petals will drift off toward Heaven.

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

A vapor in the wind

Still, You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, you catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

I am Yours, I am yours.

Who Am I, Casting Crowns
