GROW IN GRACE

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
To him be glory both now and forever...Amen... II Peter 3:18

Cut tulips in a pitcher
Live awhile ... then die.

The Monarch butterfly
Adds life to the picture.

New bulbs are sleeping
For next years keeping.

May their days be long
To wax old and strong.

Perennial flowers
Rest seasonable hours

The blest and wise,
Know the time to arise!

When to stir from beds.
And close to take a break.

To be alert--- wide awake.
Tulips open their heads!

Jesus teaches us to think,
It is written on each face.

We watch His glories
An open book of stories.

Orange~yellow~ pink~
Purple ~ red and rose.

The promises of rainbows,
Grow in grace!
