White flowers

by Pastor Karen Runjo

We have a joke in my house that white flowers don’t belong. I just don’t understand having such beauty and no colour! Conversely, I have 2 friends who pretty much only have white flowers in their garden 😊

There are some exceptions I have – a frangipani with its stunning scent and bold yellow centre, a chrysanthemum for its Mother’s Day memories, snowdrops perhaps because they are so dainty and decorative but in general I don’t enjoy white flowers.

Sometimes we have white flower moments in our lives. The moments we are going through that might seem mundane and colourless and we might feel like we are just going through the motions. Ecclesiastes 2:11 says God has made everything beautiful in its time. So if we have white flower moments in this time, there is some beauty they are meant to be adding to our lives but sometimes we need eyes to see beyond the bright colours of other moments.

Prayer Thought:

Let’s pray today and ask God to help us see the beauty in the white flower moments of our lives – either present or past.
