Suzanne introduced us to Floriography and the Victorian meanings of flowers.
Reading Matt 6:28 "Why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the fields grow. In view of impending Mothering Sunday, originally to remember 'Mother Church' Suzanne spoke of Mary and Martha. Reading Luke 10:38-42 Martha asks Jesus "Dont you care?" (that she had been left to do all the work). A question sometimes posed to us is "Are you a Mary or a Martha?" referring to Mary sitting at Jesus feet whilst Martha is is looking after the home and being the perfect host meeting everyone's needs. Do we show faith through our actions but is it at the cost of sitting at the feet of our Lord? We must breathe, listen and only then DO! Comments are closed.
