Beautiful flowers are springing up all around us, and they are so lovely to behold. God makes the flowers to bloom in all their pretty shapes and colors and He takes care of them too.
We’re going to be making a paper flower card with materials that you most likely already have at home. This handmade flower card craft checks all the boxes. It is quick and easy, and produces a beautiful, show stopping card to gift the loved ones in your lives.
Our craft for today is based on the Bible Scripture from Matthew 6:27-33.
Can worry make you live longer? Why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow. They don’t work hard to make their clothes. But I tell you that Solomon with all his wealth wasn’t as well clothed as one of them. God gives such beauty to everything that grows in the fields, even though it is here today and thrown into a fire tomorrow. God will surely do even more for you! Why do you have such little faith? Don’t worry and ask yourselves, “Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?” Only people who don’t know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows you need all of these. But more than anything else, put God’s work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well.
If God takes special care of the flowers, He will take even more special care of us who are made in His image! So do not worry about what you will wear, eat or where you will live. Just make your request known to God and have faith because He cares for YOU!!!!
