“For lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.” Song of Solomon 2:11-12

Flowers are invaluable, much like silver and gold,
but aren’t nearly as expensive whenever they’re sold.

They are wonderful aesthetically and provide a needed lift.
Their beauties are fabulous; we often gain from them a pleasant whiff…

In gardens or vases, they draw our eyes to their attention…
God knew we would need them; they’re His good intention.

P. A. Oltrogge

“Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” 1 Timothy 6:17-19
