Today, myself, Graham, and Dan presented a devotional and gave our group further information about the Flower Gardens in the Netherlands, as well as the storm barrier we visited for the day.
The flower gardens move over 20 million flowers a day, which is incredible because the flowers come from all over the world to be auctioned off at these gardens. The flower auction is so impressive considering 20 million flowers are sold each day, the logistics and the communication that must be flawless in order to continue filling orders.
Our devotional touched on the fact that God took his time in making the flowers with so much beauty and design. So if he put that much attention into creating a flower, it is impossible to measure the amount of time, love, and effort, that went into creating human beings, his children. We can take comfort in the fact that God created us with love and in his image.
We then went to the storm barrier which took over 6 years to complete and protects part of Holland from terrible floods, like the one that happened in 1953.
