As we were passing through Longmont, Colorado, on our way home from Estes Park a few weeks ago, I noticed several crabapple trees in full bloom. Beautiful, and I almost took a picture of them…but I didn’t.

Then we got home, and as I was walking to the community mailbox, I noticed our neighbor two doors over had such a tree. Wow. I took a couple of pictures of her tree. Then I walked back into our house and looked out our patio doors, and guess what? We have our own crabapple tree! (We moved in last July well after the crabapple blossoms were gone.)

June said, “A gift from God.” Agree.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1.17, ESV)
