White is the symbol for purity. It is beautiful. No garden seems complete without some white accents such as this pristine Viburnam, or the sprawling Bacopa...beautiful.
...and from our backyard, zooming in on Mt. Baker, I see its white-capped dome and I'm encouraged by its beauty, its constancy and strength.
Today I needed some whiteness in my soul...I felt the pressure of needing to apologize to someone for being quick to speak and slow to listen, rather than heeding James (1:19) admonition to be "quick to listen and slow to speak" ...of course I tried to rationalize my way out of this, it's hard to apologize...but I did it. It's very cool to be forgiven...it's exhilarating, liberating and purifying-"whitening". Thank you friend and thank You Jesus!
