After a few cold and somewhat cloudy days here; we are welcoming in May with a gorgeous warm, sunny day. Over the past week the flowers in our yard have really started blossoming.
One of my favorite Sunday School lessons to teach is on Matthew 6:25-34; which speaks of how, when we are tempted to worry, we can look to creation and see God's care for the birds and flowers.
"And why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which
today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not
much more clothe you, O you of little faith?"
Matthew 6:28-30

The activity for this is to have the kids glue paper clothes onto flower pictures to see how silly it would be for flowers to try and wear clothes. Getting out in nature and seeing the truth of these verses is always a great reminder:

This picture is for Maisie. She gets so excited when she sees
dandelions in the yard.
