Abundance and Blueberries and Wild Glory

Now this looks promising!

Yes, I do realize that between now and perhaps the start of July all the conditions need to stay favourable.  But right at the moment it sure looks good for a lot of blueberries this summer.  

There's just a lot more little flowers-turning-to-berries happening in and around our cottage than we usually see by this time.  Way more.  And it makes me eager to see what the season will bring.  Especially since we have an expert pie maker in the family.  And it's not Gramma.  (Right Zachary?)

We're here to open, and just overnight.  The tasks are many but happy, since they all signal the start of the season.  And even this year, when so much about the months ahead is uncertain, it's been so good to leave some of that stress behind in the city and just be present in the kinds of cottage moments where you notice how many blueberry flowers there are.  

As I bend low to capture this picture, I hear one of Paul's more wild benedictions in my head, as if blessing the blueberries.  But I know it's about way more than the blueberries.

 "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more 

than all we ask or imagine, 

according to His power that is at work within us, 

to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus

throughout all generations

for ever and ever.

Amen"

Ephesians 3:20-21

Glory and glory for this incredible Sunday morning.
