The Flowers Speak: The Spiritual Meaning of Flowers
()
About this ebook
Heaven and Earth are praising Thee
O Lord most high!
God speaks to us in many ways. He continually
sends His messages to us through the lovely flowers.
Flowers make it easy for us to listen to God, because
of their quietness. We will only hear Him if we open
our eyes and see, open our hearts and listen.
O let me hear the speaking
In accent clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will,
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control,
O speak and make me listen,
Thou guardian of my soul.
Amen.
Rosalee M. Smith
