I love my flowers. Ever since my husband and and I bought our first home in VA beach, I began an appreciation these little gifts from God. It was an older house with a well established yard. So many beautiful blossoms\u2026 that a desire grew to care for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 33 years of marriage I\u2019ve completely taken over our yard maintenance. Planting, trimming, mowing, cultivating – this is my happy place and each flower is precious. I learn new lessons every season. God speaks to me through His nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reminds me: He’s the Ultimate Creator\u2026 there\u2019s a time for everything under heaven\u2026 harsh pruning is sometimes necessary\u2026 there IS life after death\u2026 God is faithful\u2026 and like my mom always said, \u201dbloom where you’re planted\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning as my last iris stood brightly by itself, God encouraged me that even when it feels like <\/em>I am standing alone for godly principles – I have a great cloud of witnesses watching me, there are many Saints world-wide also taking a stand, and of course God is close upholding us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook at the lilies and how they grow\u2026 if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, He will certainly care for you.\u201d <\/strong><\/em>Luke 12:28<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saints, we are not alone<\/strong> in this crazy time. We stand together as the Bride, and as heaven cheers us on. Be brave, be strong, be true. Let us glorify His Name- in Jesus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ForGlorySake! -Anna<\/p>\n\n\n\n
