Simple Spring Arrangement
Posted by melissa on Feb 23, 2014 in flower arrangement, foyer | 17 comments
Sometimes I worry.
I worry about things that have never happened and other things that will probably never happen.
So the other night as I lay awake busying my mind with my latest random worry thought…
…and I was praying that the Lord would take the worry from me…
…this simple, refreshing thought came to mind.
“Instead of mulling over all of this worry ~ Start counting your blessings.”
Because in all of the worry…
…I was missing the blessings.
The blessings that have filled my life to overflowing.
The blessings that have happened.
And I vowed that on that day I would replace every thought of worry with a thought of thankfulness.
And you know what happened?
My heart was nearly busting at the seams as I lived that day. 
And I sang as I put this simple spring arrangement together!
And one of the things that I gave thanks for was the beautiful Spring day!
So here is an arrangement that can be made in just a few minutes and will remind you that Spring is on its way.
Supplies:
empty urn
garland of greenery
{Click HERE to find out how to make them.}
nest
Fill the top of the urn with the garland.
Add the flower covered balls.
Add the nest.
Then find a place in your home for you to enjoy your new Spring centerpiece.
And today may you and I both replace every thought of worry…
…with thoughts of thankfulness…
…and may our hearts be full instead of burdened!
Life to the full!
Melissa

I always love you posts, but I really needed this one today. Thank you for blessing so many lives and especially for the peace you’ve brought me today. Grace and peace to you and yours.
How pretty! I did something similar in our entry way. It’s definitely time to bring out the bird nests.
Melissa- What a wonderful turn around in your thinking! Love it- xo Diana
How lovely. I know I can get every thing, but where do I find the urn. I would love to try and make this. I am so happy you share your talent. Especially to those of us that have none. Thanks. Susan
So pretty Melissa, great post!!
xo, Tanya
Thank you for your lovely blog! I so enjoy following you.
Once during Bible Study, our wonderful teacher told us that WORRY is actually a sin. Wow! I had never stopped to think of it in that way. That changed my life. Worry was inherited, Granny did it….Mom did it. A very natural thing for me. It almost seemed that if I didn’t worry about everything, it meant I didn’t care. Not so! Sometimes, I am concerned, but I really have turned it over to God and stopped worrying like I use to do. I don’t have those miserable tension headaches like I used to have all the time. So sweet Melissa, it sounds like you are on the right track. Keep going girl friend!

Beautiful Spring arrangement, Melissa! And you know, I often wake up around 4AM and I can’t get back to sleep because I am worrying. Last night {well, this morning} I started just saying the verse ” Be anxious for nothing…” and it totally calmed my worrisome Mama brain. Thanks for sharing this sweet post and your thoughts! xo
Lovely post. Lovely arrangement. And I love that urn.
Beautiful arrangement and even better sentiment! I’m a worrier myself, so this is so refreshing!
I am right with you, Melissa. I worry too. Thanks for this today! Much needed! Your robin eggs are the perfect touch to this arrangement!
