HEAVEN,MAN& EARTH

As a young girl,I spent alot of time,working with my mother in garden club activities. We were always involved in shows and fairs of some form or another.She finally became a Master Judge,in her later years,but her love of arranging flowers and gardening were her primary interests.I enjoyed entering our Lake County Fair and Flower Show, and even won a tri color ribbon one year!When I left Aiken,my garden club,(Sunshine) made me an honorary lifetime member.......
One of my favorite ways of arranging flowers was the method known as "Heaven,Man & Earth". This procedure was the tallest grouping of flowers coming straight up from the container, (or frog), and was known as "Heaven". The next tallest that came up from the "frog", was known as "Man".It usually went out to the side a little bit.Finally, the last, and shortest of the three, was "Earth".This grouping stayed closest to the frog.
When your flowers were put together this way, the whole arrangement seem to stay in balance better. There were other ways to arrange flowers,such as using a crescent shape, but this was my favorite.....
This is the same way we are, in our lives too.
If we will arrange God above us, as the headship of our lives, keeping us below Him, then we can always depend on our feet being firmly planted on the ground!
......and with Him,we will definitely win the Grand Prize!
