Stop, Look-n-Listen: Crocus

This morning I prayed with a friend at the Prayer Center. As I left the building, this flower caught my eye. So naturally I stopped and took a picture, and then another when I saw a group of them.

Beautiful! Can’t remember what they’re called. Another sign of spring!

Fast forward a few hours and I get home and this email is in my inbox:

Hi Tiffany,

We attended a church in Arizona and told Zach’s story and one of the gals in the audience told us her story of her abortion and then she asked if we could hand out her CD. I told her that we would be honored to. Any way, I thought of you and your speaking and thought you might want these to give away. It has 20 tracks of songs that are very appropriate for the victims of abortion. The CD is called “Unseen Hands” and it was produced by three women whose lives were damaged by abortion, then touched and healed by God’s unseen hands. They call themselves CROCUS for Christ Reaches Out to Comfort Us. I am very blessed each time I listen to the CD and this girl, Jody, signed one for Zach. We had a wonderful time sharing and encouraging many during our time in Arizona.

If you would like these, you would have more opportunity to get them in the hands of those who need this blessing, lets meet so I can get them in your hands.

My heart skipped a beat as I thought could that be the flower I just saw today? Sounds familar. Sure enough I googled this flower under Google images and there is was.

Crocus: Christ Reaches Out to Comfort Us!

Thank you, Father God, for the way you show me You love me through a purple flower named Crocus. May all who read this post know You see and love them too. You are reaching out to comfort them today.

(Sidenote about Crocus and its metaphorical use)

The financial community sometimes refers to companies or economic sectors that rise early after an economic downturn as “Crocuses” in reference to the flower’s ability to thrive in the late winter or early spring.(quote taken from Wikipedia )
