Today I’m out planting flowers into pots and into the ground. What a beautiful day I’m having. Warm, sunny, peaceful, birds singing. Therapy for this ready gardener. We have to wait until after Mother’s Day here in Colorado Springs. I just love getting my hands into dirt to plant annuals. Something about creating beauty from the dirt makes me happy. 🙂 While I was working outside, God reminded of what lasts forever. And it’s not flowers.
“All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the LORD endures forever,” 1 Peter 1:24-25 (NKJV).
Thank you, Jesus, for this word this afternoon. As much as I love flowers, I love You and Your Word more.
(Sidenote: for those of you who would like to hear my abortion testimony from Mother’s Day. It’s now online available. I’m the 4th person to share about 20 minutes in. I talk for about 8-10 minutes. The Gathering Mother’s Day Service
Tiffany,
Blue flowers are my absolute favorite, and these are stunning. Here in Florida we’ve already zipped past spring and are into summer’s heat and humidity. Enjoy the weekend!
What a wonderful reminder in this season Tiffany! Thank you so much!
I’ll have to remind my hubby of this. He was lamenting yesterday over the fact that something ate one of the pepper plants he had planted on Sunday!
Just listened to your beautiful grace story! Girl I know God spoke to hearts many there that day. And I believe He will continue to work…to bring more to His heart. I am proud of you girl…and with tear in my eyes, a smile on my face and joy in my heart…I say…”Keep Living on Purpose My Friend” Love you girl!
Hi Tiffany,
Oh what a beautiful picture! I love the vibrancy of color in fresh flowers…and the smell…mmmm.
Thank you for lealding me to this Scripture today. The Lord’s Word is so beautiful and endures forever.
Love you,

I’m glad the weather is good and you can be outdoors in your garden. I love flowers. Glad you’re feeling better.
Our frost date is about Mother’s Day too. I’ll plant my flowers tomorrow. It’s one of my favorite rituals of spring. Enjoy your flowers.
I just planted a garden too… a vegetable garden… I’m so excited. It’s my 2nd one ever. I can hardly wait to see the seeds beginning to sprout…
I’m sure there will be many lessons to write about as I watch and tend my garden..
Have a blessed weekend!
Love ya,
tiffany,
i pray that God bless you in your work for His kingdom via your blog.
may he use you in a mighty way.

Oh yes…it is not flowers…it is not this flesh we live in either…some day sweet sister some day. I might have to send you a personal e-mail in regards to you story…blessings!
Tiffany. I love it. I love all God’s creation. I have a scripture tag on my blog with that verse. Praise God, Thank YOU!
These are beautiful! Here in Michigan, we wait until after May 15. I don’t plant at my house, but I do help my parents. Today is not so good anyway as it looks as if it will rain.
I think gardening is close to the Father’s heart. I am not surprised you like playing in the dirt, planting, and occasionally pulling a few weeds. I will watch your video soon. Thanks Tiffany. B
The flowers are beautiful Tiffany and I pray your today is even more wonderful then your yesterday when you did this post.
Keep speaking into the lives of people who need to hear. God bless.
Love ya.
Oh those flowers are just BEAUTIFUL!!
Yes, that is what he makes out of our messes, beauty for ashes!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend my friend.
I’m remembering what truly lasts too♥
Those flowers are gorgeous!! Isn’t it fantastic to know that in all their glory, they can’t compare to what lies ahead of us…the majesty and beauty of our Lord!
Can’t wait to get there!!
Bless you,
Susan
Beautiful flowers (lupines are one of my faves and I can’t grow them well in my soil.)
Even more beautiful thoughts…
I too am in awe of God’s beautiful works, including the gorgeous flowers He blesses us to see/admire. In fact, that is why I chose Psalm 104:24 for my blog title.
Nothing like digging in God’s dirt to connect…..
Peace and love

I love that scripture! No matter what else is going on in the world, we can always rely on God’s word. Thank you for that beautiful reminder! And I hope you enjoyed your day in the dirt :o)
