• Some of these plants give forth their fragrance as the rain and dew fall upon them; some of them send forth a subtle aroma when the rays of the sun are warming them.

We need all kinds of varied experiences in order that we may manifest the graces of Christ in our behavior. (“Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1” by H.A. Ironside)
