You’ve heard of manna from heaven and pennies from heaven, but I want to tell you about flowers from heaven.

Every morning when I look into the back yard it is covered with large yellow flowers; not year around of course, but this is the season. They have appeared daily for over a week now. You can look for their source and not see a thing. They appear from nowhere.

If you look closely, squinting into the sky, you can spot a few yellow blooms high in one of the trees in the yard. There is a tiny vine growing up the side of the tree which twines itself throughout the leaves and branches. From the ground they are almost invisible and certainly do not seem abundant. Yet everyday there are dozens of blooms decorating the grass.

This vine is not something I planted. Nor was it in the yard when I moved in. Some little bird probably dropped a seed and it fourished, protected by the large golden rain tree. Slowly it grew up the side of the tree and many times I thought about cutting it down, not knowing what it was. That would have been a loss.

There are many mentions of flowers in the scripture. God directed the builders of the tabernacle to decorate the  fixtures with carvings of various flowers and plants.  Obviously God loves flowers and He made them for us to enjoy.

The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, …Solomon 2:12 

What a sweet little blessing and reminder of God’s presence and his desire to shower us with blessings.

I hope you will open your eyes for the blessings God sends. Share them with me if you like.

God Bless
