…glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:3-4 January 25, 2025

I chose this product because of Rachel Jefferies’ description: “Magnolia Soulangeana, or the Saucer or Chinese Magnolia, blooms in early spring where it's cup shaped flowers emerge dramatically from a bare tree. The magnolia is a very tough, hard flower, unlike other delicate flowers this is owing to the fact that it has had to adapt to changing climactic and geological conditions in order to survive, the flower represents endurance.”

Life is hard, but to survive, we must endure the hardships and in doing so those trials and tribulations will produce perseverance and character and hope as we endure in Christ!
