My love, you were born in the dawn of spring,

Just like the flowers that bloom in the wake of harshest winters,

You, bloom in the aftermath of all the cold, bitter, unsureness of life.

Just like the breath of fresh spring that permeates your senses,

You permeate the lives around you.

Just like the whispers of hope and new beginnings,

You are the hope for a new beginning.

So my love, on this special day, rejoice,

For the embodiment of joy is within you.

-K

I’m a normal person and I’m definitely not thinking about how

a) raphael and millie have the same smile right down to the teeth

b) jamie and millie have the same/very similar chin-lips-nose structure (especially the shape of the lower lip)

c) they have the same eyebrows :’) they were very particular about raphael and jamie holding their eyebrows the same way so like…it’s a thing…

National Flower Day

National Flower Day is on March 21 every year, right after the first official spring day. Flowers in spring have that extraordinary quality that words can’t do justice to. We can practically sniff everything beautiful about spring — that unmistakable scent of hope and renewed energy. Colorful buds and petals, slowly peek their heads up to meet the sun. Flowers perfectly embody the emotions associated with spring. Gifting flowers is always a good idea. Few things can uplift spirits the way flowers do. Do you want to make someone feel special? Mark an occasion? Or perhaps need a mood-uplift yourself? Say what you need to say with flowers, today and always.

History of National Flower Day

The earliest connection between flowers and their importance to humans dates back to the paleolithic age with the discovery of flower fossils. Similarly, gifting flowers has always been central to life and culture. Across civilizations, flowers would feature prominently in ancient myths and stories. The Ancient Greeks revered flowers and associated them with several Gods.

Flowers have bloomed on Earth and in our hearts throughout history as we know it. They bring an extra spring to our steps. Add color to mundane days. Flowers can convey love, joy, and strength through every season or reason. Their fragrance and beauty bring cheer to anyone’s day.

National Flower Day in March reminds us to pause and appreciate nature’s art. The holiday is perfect for planting more flowers. You could gift flowers to someone or even yourself. It’s a great day for a long stroll in the park or a short hike. To stop and smell the roses, tulips, or camellias. As you soak in pops of color in gardens everywhere, it’s hard not to radiate the same joy.

If you’ve been dreaming of spring blooms throughout the winters, today’s perfect to prep for spring gardening. This special day helps us get ready for warm weather. The perfect pick-me-up after a long, dreary winter. Today’s excellent for getting our gardens ready for spring. National Flower Day is also an excuse to celebrate big moments and small ones. Gift flowers to someone you love or to yourself as a personal pat on the back.

5 Facts About Tulips That Will Blow Your Mind

Central-Asian origins

The Tulip market crash

Tulips follow the sun

They’re edible

Never say die

Although Holland made the tulip poplar, tulips are native to the Tien Shan mountains in Central Asia.

Holland’s tulip industry came to a crash in 1637 when too many speculators sold the flowers at one time.

Tulips move with the sun’s rays even when inside a vase.

Those who couldn’t afford food during WWII ate tulips and tulip bread to survive.

Tulips continue growing even after you cut them.

Living His Word

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. — Ephesians 3:20-21

Christians are always asking God for things. We may ask for a life with our personal issues in order, a life with a better job, a life with our relationships on an even keel, or a life where things in general go better than they have been. We ask for things, but our asking does not always match up well with the greatness and loving kindness of the God that we serve. Perhaps to avoid disappointment, perhaps because we underestimate God, we can at times temper our asking and thinking to what we simply assume to be more realistic levels.

The message of our verses for today, however, encourages us to move beyond the realism of lower expectations. We serve a God who can do far more abundantly than anything we could ever ask or think. He can do more than put our personal life in order---He can cause it to flourish. He can do more than find us a better job---He can find us the job we were made for. He can do more than place our relationships on an even keel---He can take them to new heights of fulfillment. And He can do more than make things go better---He can make things go great.

God can accomplish all of this through the power that is at work within us. This is, of course, the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the power that can heal us physically, transform us spiritually, and lead us and inspire us to greater levels of success in life. It can take us in directions that we never expected and that we never thought possible. It is the power of the Holy Spirit that takes us to levels beyond what we can ask or think. This is because it is a supernatural power at work within our very natural lives. When the Holy Spirit goes to work, anything can happen.

Let us begin the day, and every day, ascribing glory, honor, praise, and worship to the God who alone can do far more than we ask or think.
