who is sharing with whom?

I looked out of the big picture window in my family room and saw that my lilac was covered with blooms and my heart lifted in praise to God for this gift He gave me to share with you who read, with a friend whose favorite flower is lilac and with my house guests this weekend.

I still can't comprehend how a spring bush is blooming in the fall.

I went out to get a closer look. 

and to enjoy the marvel of the scent and intricacy of the flowers.

I looked to the right and smiled-

 a little was friend enjoying God's gift to me...

and as I was thanking God for this gift and for opportunities to share it with others, a humbling thought hit me upside the head like a 2x4. I've been pondering it since Thursday afternoon.

What if the gift wasn't for me...

what if it was for my little guest and he was sharing with me?
