Wildflowers!

One thing all of these flowers and the butterfly have in common is that they “catch the light.” Their beauty is made complete by the way they reflect. God designed each of these beautiful things, not just to be beautiful, but to have specific uses beyond their beauty, too.

The cherry blossoms are open! “For lo, the winter is past, and the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come. . .”

The Lost Lamb

“For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost.”
Matthew 18:11
