RED TRILLIUM Trillium erectum

Philippians 4:23 is the Apostle Paul’s benediction to the believers in his letter to Philippi. He wrote, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.” This is the benediction of the Apostle to a beloved congregation gathered in a very difficult situation.

Of greater significance is that Paul was writing from a circumstance that would overwhelm most of us, a prison in Rome. His testimony encourages us that amid any situation, the grace of the Lord can lift our spirits. Like the grace of God lifts our spirit, finding the wildflower featured today brighten your spirit.
