My Name Is Iris

I like roses, lilies, cactuses, and other beautiful flowers that display their blossoms most of the year. I like red, white, pink, and even bright yellows. I like all flowers, birds, bees, and green trees. I'm different from others, but I like myself too. God made us all to be ourselves and do our best, and like His entire creation, to depend on Him. So, once a year, one of my colors is purple. I say hello and encourage the rest of God's creation to blossom where they are planted and be their best there. I remind them that whether it's rainy or shiny, calm or stormy, God will be there with and for them because He always cares for us.
