Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Yes, God will work in our lives if we allow Him to do so. He has done it for me on numerous occasions, even when I've fought Him. I'm just glad He offers grace. Good luck with the contest.

This was just so picturesque. I loved the imagery. I could see the specks of purple color against the green of the growth. The water shimmering as the reflection came to view. This was lovely. Gretchen

I have heard that slogan but never knew that it came from the AA. Interesting! I do like the observation that the purple flowers grow and bloom without anyone's help but God's.

Yes, beauty is all around us and without our control. It's up to God and nature.

There was a time that I abused drugs and alcohol but with AA and NA I got sober. I have28 years clean and sober. The program works. It's very spiritual and the kindred family offers the support that's needed.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.

Love

Marival

If God cares for those flowers, how much more will He care for you and me? This was a beautiful post backed by a vivid color scheme and you did it in eight words. Great job!

Just as God takes good care of those gorgeous flowers that are seemingly unattended, so does He take care of all of His Children. This is excellent work for the challenge. Your presentation is very good. You use expressive words and colorful imagery that will draw in readers. I enjoyed reviewing this.

Best wishes,

Alexan
