ORANGE OVATIONS

(Photo Collage by Sharon Wilhite)

Too many ORANGE Photos - too little week left!  Orange has never been my favorite color, but I do like a few qualities that it possesses.  Orange is BRIGHT. Orange is ENERGIZING.  Orange is HAPPY.  What would we do without  a beautiful orange sunset, a bright orange marigold, or a brilliant monarch butterfly?  God's creations wouldn't be the same without it!

I AM THE ROSE...

"I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys."
(Song of Solomon 2:1)

God has created so many beautiful, extraordinary, unique, and yes, even rather strange, varieties of flowers.  Jesus is the rose blooming in every desert of our life, and is the lily of every one of our valleys.  Which flower characterizes your personality, your ministry in the life of others?  May our lives bring beauty and sweet perfume to those around us. (And being uniquely different just adds to your rareness as the daughter of the King!)

THE HEAVENS DECLARE...

"The heavens declare the GLORY OF GOD; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tabernacle for the SUN, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."  (Psalm 19:1-6)

ORANGE YOU GLAD FOR THE COLOR ORANGE?

What better photo to begin a week of ORANGE than a little bit of Florida sunshine?!  To think that an orange was such a rare treat that they were given as a special gift in one's Christmas stocking in days gone by.  Can you imagine today's child's expression if that was his or her special (or sole) Christmas treat?!!
