This year, our purple/blue agapanthas have bloomed so well! Last year, I am not sure why but they just didn’t seem to want to appear! Agapanthas have such large flowers on them, and a very long narrow stem! They look up to the sky, rooted in the ground. It is a bit like life. We are rooted in the “ love soil” of the love of our Loving Lord, our family and our friends. When we are in pain, or tired or are feeling weary, we may feel that like the thin stem of an agapantha, we don’t have much strength. May we find encouragement from, rest, and find strength in the “ soil of love”. May we look upwards just like an agapantha flower does, and let inner beauty, kindness and care for others bloom through!
