On Saturday my friend Terry went to the flower market. She is making wedding bouquets, for a wedding in a few weeks and wanted to buy flowers to practice. She invited anyone who wanted to leave at 6am, to go with her. I thought about it and said I would love to go. Mika wanted to go as well.
I was imagining all the flowers and thinking how happy it would make me feel, seeing all that beauty.
Looking again at my diary, I saw that I was working on Saturday afternoon. Friday was always going to be a late night, I knew that. I was going to my sons formal and didn't get to bed until the early hours of Saturday morning. I had already told Terry I wasn't going to make it to the market and was fast asleep when they drove past.
Mika rang later in the morning, as I was getting ready for work and told me she had bought me some flowers. I was so excited, but she said it was a surprise and wouldn't tell me what the flowers were.
I had a shower when I got home from work, climbed into my PJ's and popped over to Mika's house. She was in her PJ's too. We had a little glass of Bailey's and then she gave me my flowers. They are beautiful white tulips, with beautiful grey foliage and a separate green foliage with a purple flower to contrast. I arranged the flowers into a vase when I got home at 11:30 pm. They are beautiful!!
The beautiful pink peony rose from Janet are gone now. The roses from Helen are almost gone.. still a few buds to enjoy. I feel so spoilt. I continue to thank praise my Father in heaven, who is faithful and true.
