God's Love Blooms

The season that breathes life.. the vines and limbs that have been hidden under the snow or leaves are now brought to life.. Bright green.. oxygen… life.. who gives life other than the breath of heaven? .. God .. Yes , God is the source of life.

Easter is the climax of Spring. The dogwood with its symbolism of Easer. The green foliage of new life. The blooms on all the new beauties of Spring. My peonies, the buds that are about to burst forth.

Seasons are a beautiful metaphor of our own lives. Spring is a season of love.. the birds are chirping, meeting with their mates in the garden as we celebrate new babies and marriages.. It is all so beautiful.. Can we take it all in? We can, as we linger in the garden, with God, in conversation, with our loved ones, celebrating newness with a beautiful floral arrangement in the kitchen, and family surrounding our tables.

Christ paid it all, believe He did, accept the gift of love that lasts eternally and let His love bloom in your heart like the peonies in my garden from last year.

A stone that was quarried from Ephesus with the inscription, He Is Risen to remind us “It is finished”.. His work on the cross is complete.. We are forgiven and made new with Christ.

This season is a beautiful metaphor of how God desires His love to bloom in us where we are living. Peony Market has unique gifts of love to share with your mom for Mother’s Day as well as the friends and neighbors in your life. We live not without hope, but Christ is Risen! And, we have also “risen” as new creatures in Christ. He paid the price. Celebrate your freedom and give love without reservation. He forgave us. How can we not live free, letting go of things that don’t bring life? Today is the gift.. Give a gift that inspires and brings life and joy..

Here are are a few gifts of love we offer for this season.

Bring Comfort + Love

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms today!! May you feel the comfort and love of Jesus, your family and friends this weekend. We all have the opportunity to bring comfort and love to the special women in our lives this Sunday as well as consistently throughout the year. In the book of Isaiah 61:2, Isaiah prophetically speaks of the Messiah and his ministry of comforting those who mourn.

“…to proclaim the year of the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance our God, to comfort all who mourn.” Isaiah 61:2. Later in the book of Luke 4:16-22, Jesus reads Isaiah 61 from a scroll and He said, “Today this scripture is fulfilled.” Isaiah shares that the Messiah is anointed to bring good news, bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn..”

Jesus’ ministry is listed in Isaiah 61 and that is Peony Market’s desire to follow after God’s heart and ministry. HIs heart is about Restoration and we want our products, gatherings and life to reflect God’s heart. Our past gathering was beautiful seeing new and old friends. We tried to take the time with new friends and share our story of Peony Market and partnership with Uncaged. Our new products are reflections of each of the ways Jesus modeled and spoke of His ministry to the world. One of our customers shared with us, “We love Peony Market and the ‘better than shopping anywhere else’ personalized, beautiful environment shopping experience.” This is what we hope for each person to experience in person and online through the messages!

Today’s message we are highlighting the ministry of bringing comfort and love. There is no better time to bring comfort and love than to your special mom and women in your life this weekend. Let us share a few with you!

Some of the products we offer for comfort and love are the Tea Gift Set, Blankets, Tea Towels and Plants. The tea set includes a handmade pottery mug from North Georgia, Glass Tea infuser with an adorable glass jar of loose tea leaves and ginger cookies. You can purchase the set or individual items. The tea towels are beautiful for your kitchen or guest bathroom. We love the soft colors this year, drawing you into God’s gentleness and beauty in nature. The blankets are soft and cozy with a splash of color for any room in your home. The planters contain an annual plant for your someone special to plant and bloom this Spring. These planters are not online, but you can email us at sharon@peonymarket.co.

Let us know how we can help you bring comfort and love to those you cherish! If you are in the Atlanta area; we can deliver your gift!

Have a beautiful week!!
