'Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.' (Matthew 6:28-29)
We held a goodbye party for some church friends today and I was in charge of the flower arranging. Hence today's post. (You can tell I write spur of the moment, instead of carefully planning them :)
We have many reasons to be thankful for flowers, and they're not all about how pretty they are either. (Although that is one reason)
Flowers can really transform a garden, making it somewhere beautiful in the spring/summer season. The sight of them coming up in the ground is a reminder that winter is finally coming to an end and spring is on its way!
As Mum pointed out, all you need to do is put a couple of flowers in a vase and voilà!
You have something to decorate the room with, no work needed. God's decorations are perfect.
But there is so much more about a flower to remember.
Although they make look like such fragile things, no easily crushed, God actually created them with an incredible structure. They are strong enough to hold themselves up, capable of reproducing without moving, and some are even capable of defending themselves, with thorns for example!
Flowers are a reminder of our Creator. He who takes such care in the smallest flower will surely take care of you, created in His own image.
Thank you Lord.
