Flowers

 "In nature itself are messages of hope and comfort.

There are flowers upon the thistles,

and the thorns are covered with roses.

 God is love is written upon every opening bud, upon every spire of springing grass.

The lovely birds making the air vocal with their happy songs,

the delicately tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air,

the lofty trees of the forest with their rich foliage of living green

-- all testify to the tender, fatherly care of our God and to His desire to make His children happy."

Steps to Christ p.1 E.G.W.

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you,

that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Luke 12:27
