Poinsettia Hangs On – Why?
Those scarlet leaf points represent drops of blood my Savior shed for me. I will remember the scourges, the thorns, the nails and the sword – for they all drew blood. Blood drops were sown in soil that produced Easter lilies.
God in the Commonplace
Even today, He sets His throne among the common, the ordinary, the everyday places. He sets His throne among the humble, the nobodys, and the meek in spirit.
