My First Sunflower Garden!



Can you believe that these beautiful flowers came up from seed? I'm amazed at how the stalks are able to support the weight of the large flowers. Did you know that the face of the sunflower follows the sun as it rises and sets each day? God's creation constantly reminds us of biblical truths.

The Word of God is like a seed planted deep within our hearts where the Lord causes it to grow. As we mature we learn that true nourishment comes from the Son - God's only Son. He causes His grace to shine upon us each and every day until The Day when He will take us home to be with Him forever.

The Preeminence of Christ - Colossians 1:15-23

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by [6] him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation [7] under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
