Beautiful flowerbeds in lawns will be the home of many annual and perennial plant lovelies. Some will be dug up and transplanted, maybe divided and shared with friends. Some will be cut and arranged in vases as their aroma is brought indoors.
Isn't it marvelous how all of God's natural creation cooperate with each other? April's moisture began the process and May's warmth encouraged it so June could enjoy the benefits of the exquisite beauty of new growth for the new season. What they worked together to accomplish will be enjoyed for months to come.
June will host the first official day of summer, bringing another season change. It's time for sandals, seashores, picnics and family reunions. It's a time to fully appreciate the balmy days before the heat of July and August.
The natural seasons are similar to the seasons of our lives. If we could just cooperate with God the way His other creations do, we could bless and enhance each other's lives and be lovely bouquests for God's use.
The "seed" was planted in our hearts by the Word. We were "rained upon" by the Holy Spirit, causing us to burst forth in a June-like fashion. We can use the beauty of salvation that flowers in us to beautify our world and bless others with our Spiritual aroma. What a lovely bouquet we would make in God's eyes if we would just let our different colors, shapes and scents blend as we honor Him.
