Hold a few ashes close (along with those safety pins). They'll always remind you of the start and growth of that garden...and keep you grounded. You can always count on the higher power to sprinkle those ashes right where they belong. Keep smiling princess! And, yes I do like my name. It's the best name for me, other than "Mom" of course. I just love watching your garden grow :) Oh Jessica, this writing is so refreshing and real. Hold a few ashes close (along with those safety pins).

The ashes and the garden together. The ashes aren't the final word. As you so beautifully wrote, to have a garden now doesnt mean ignoring the ashes. And to still see and feel the ashes doesn't mean you don't have a garden. Love, love, love Gods faithfulness to be a Redeemer when he's included in the ashes. I love this.
