“Because I love you!”

Jesus sent me flowers on Tuesday.

I hope He was watching and enjoyed the flurry of activity He caused.

The FedEx man knocked on the door prompting many feet to go inspect.  As he was walking away my mind was racing, “What have I ordered?  Did John order something?”

Then I saw that the package boasted the contents – flowers!  In January.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
IMG_0188We hustled around the kitchen opening the box, looking for a card, taking in the beauty of the flowers as we followed the directions for their care.

Some of the kids were really eager to get to the bottom of the mystery.  Not Tabitha.  “Maybe Jesus really did send them, right? He could do that, right?”

I don’t mind the mystery.  I love secrets and surprises.  Always have.
And I love my purple and pink flowers from Jesus.
 
Luke 12:26-28   And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?   “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.  And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
