This week, the dogwoods and azaleas are in riotous full bloom here. I've decided to use sightings of the trees on my drives, in my yard, outside of our offices, etc., to remind me to pray especially for Dogwood Dell's Mom, who has been experiencing severe health problems this week.
We've been praying for her all week--it just occurred to me that I could use God's gift of Springtime beauty as another prayer reminder. Yet another way the Holy Spirit can help us pray as we ought.
From Roman 8:
26: In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
- 27: And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God's will.

Dogwoods blooming reminds me of our visit to your home in Durham one spring. We saw Dogwoods blooming alongside the highway as we got into the deep south.
