I love the detail of your floral pictures! They are beautiful! Also, I wanted to share the following quote with you, and this is the perfect place to do so since you posted regarding flowers. I was reading John MacArthur's book "How to Meet the Enemy", and I came across the following quote:
"A person described three things he saw in a garden among the plants and flowers.
The first was a butterfly that alighted on an attractive flower. It sat for a second or two, then moved on to another, seeing and touching many lovely blossoms but deriving no benefit from them.
Next came a botanist with a large notebook and microscope. He spent some time over each flower and plant, making copious notes of each. But when he had finished, his knowledge was shut away in his notebook; very little of it remained with him.
Then a bee came along, entering a flower here and there and spending time in each, emerging from each blossom laden with pollen. It went in empty and came out full.
There are those who read the Bible, flitting from one favorite passage to another, but getting little from their reading. Others really study and take notes, but do not apply the teachings of Scripture. Others - like the bee - spend time over the Word, reading, marking, and inwardly digesting and applying it. Their minds are filled with wisdom and their lives with heavenly sweetness."
I found that encouraging and covicting, and I wanted to share it! :) love in Christ, Nikki
