April showers brought May
flowers, and now June
has come to pick and distribute
them.
Teamwork!
Many of the lovely beauties will
grace a church for weddings
filled with love and hope for
the future.
Some delicate baby breath
blossoms may be attached to the
blushing bride's veil and
included in her
bouquet, while corsages and
boutonnieres will be
worn by the attendants.
Lovely corsages will be
delivered to excited junior and
senior girls as they are
escorted to the prom by their
beaux.
Colorful arrangements will line platforms
in auditoriums and gymnasiums
for graduation exercises.
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
bouquets 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.
We need to remember that there
are different seasons
to our lives. Sometimes we
flourish with radiant
spiritual health; sometimes we
are taking in seed
(Word) and gaining new
revelation. At other times the
seed is laying dormant waiting
for the proper season to
sprout. There are times when we
are very fruitful
with maturing seeds for another
season.
Whatever the season,
"Be ready in season and out of
season..."
(2 Timothy 4:2 NKJV).
Each season has
its own beauty and usefulness.
