Luther Burbank: “Flowers always make people better,happier, and more helpful: they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.”
I like this quote because it states something I have come to believe but in a different way. I believe that God created flowers solely for the purpose of making us smile, feel warm,and know that we are loved. They represent God’s kisses to me.

Just as a mother bird broods
to protect her young . . .
giving them warmth,
safety,
covered with her love,
and when the time comes
sets them free
to do as they were created to do . . .
so, too, does our Creator God
love and protect us
in the shelter of His wings.
We may not see Him,
but His love, power, and grace
are with us always.

Matthew 10:29-31
“Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. “So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

The Lord has blessed my life with the most adorable disciple! Beany barked this morning and I assumed a neighbor kitty was in the yard, but no. He was sitting in our prayer chair wagging his tail!

Is it just the breeze
Or the brush of angel’s wings
Which refresh my soul
And bring me such peace?
