My dad is an amazing gardener. His backyard looks like something out of Better Homes & Gardens. There is always something in bloom. A flower in bloom seems so cheerful. They aim their faces to the sky and spread their colored petals wide for all to see. We can learn something from the flowers’ unabashed exhibition. As Christians, we have much to proclaim.

Let’s not stop until the whole world knows Him.
