SUNFLOWERS!

Sunflowers are a national symbol of Ukraine.

This picture of a field of sunflowers in Ukraine was today's bright bloom for this their 31st anniversary of Independence. My friend shared that 4 hrs & 44 minutes of air raid sirens had blared before 2:30 pm, EET. Still their President Zelenskyy hailed a reborn Ukraine; Queen Elizabeth sent encouraging words encouraging them to celebrate their culture, history and identity; US President Biden sent a gift, nearly $3 billion of military aid.

It has not been a day without tragedy ----but the people of Ukraine remain as hopeful as their fields of sunflowers.....their symbol of resistance, unity and hope!

CHOOSE: TO SEE

Choose to see in nature.....scientific proof following God's truth about creation.

Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so.
The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:11-12)

And it was so. 
And it is still so.
And it is still good.

God created the earth not to be empty but He formed it to be inhabited. (Isaiah 45:18) And what beauty He added to it for the inhabitants to enjoy!

And it is beautiful for me to behold as I choose to see His handiwork bear out His truth in nature.

And behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:31)

SABBATH SNAPSHOTS: SUNNY FLOWERS

8/19/12 Flowers of the field are given beautiful and varying hues by God Himself. But, the yellow ones are the ones which most often catch my eye. From England's golden oil-seed rape fields, grown on a multi-year cycle, to the beauty of the acres and acres of man-sized sunflowers blossoming brightly in Hungary, I have loved seeing those yellow crops in field after field. I love yellow flowers.

 Yellow flowers seem happy.

From Ukraine.......
