Flowers - Dawn

In celebration of the season, Pam led our writing group on a short study of flowers in the Bible. We looked at scripture and talked about flowers that were special to each of us. Afterwards, we wrote, either about one of the scriptures or about our special flower.  I'll share one at a time.

Here is Dawn's:


I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys... 
(Song of Songs 2:1)


I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
I am the daughter of a master gardener, who is also a king.
My place is among the fields where my job is to garden.
My place is not here, but this is where I work.
Everyday is a challenge for weeds try to choke out the harvest.
Everyday is a joy as I see flowers bloom and flourish.
My job is to plant the seeds in whatever soil is available.
My job is to then let my father grow the plants, in his time.
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
I am the daughter of a master gardener, who is also a king.

  2. Great job Dawn. I think we often loose sight of the fact that the results are not to us. We simply need to be busy sowing the seeds.
