I have always loved daisies for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was very close to my paternal grandmother and spent a lot of time with her. Her name was Daisy so because of her that flower has always been one of my favorites. Give me daisies over roses any day and I’m a happy woman.


I wanted daisies in my bridal bouquet in memory of her. Carrying those daisies in my bouquet that day made me feel closer to her.

I came across this story of the daisy today online and knew it was perfect for this week’s Sunday Inspiration.

The Daisy’s Story
~ Connie Faust ~

Oh, do not pluck the petals
from the daisy's heart of gold,
for daisies have a story
that from ages past they've told.
Although you pull them all apart
and ask about true love,
There's One Who formed them with His hand,
the precious Lord above!

Each snow-white petal speaks of Him,
the Savior pure and sweet;
The heart of gold, His priceless love,
He lays before your feet.

If God made every daisy small
with infinite precision,
then He's the One Whom you can trust
to guide in each decision.
If He can give the gift of life,
from seed to growing flower,
He'll give you life, and strength to grow,
through every trying hour.

There is no question of God's love ...
without a doubt, it's true!
And every little daisy tells ...
"Take heart! for God loves you!"
