Le Tournasol







I loved finding out the meaning of 'Le Tournasol' when I took French in college. It literally means 'turning to face the sun.' I grew up in western Nebraska, so am quite familiar with the smaller sunflowers. I was delighted to find these fields of giant sunflowers out in the Nebraska countryside.

These are a few words from a song I wrote recently:

He seeded the meadows with flowers;
a work of art, every one.
We could take a lesson
how each turns its face to the Son.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was amazing to see the giant sunflowers all turned in the same direction, with faces boldly soaking in the brilliance of the life-giving sun. In fact, in the third picture I could see two sets of angel hands clapping in response to the flowers giving the source of light their full attention.
~~~~~~~~~~

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
Rev. 22:4
