Hollyhocks
by PamFord Davis Do children still appreciate the simple things or do they demand the toys of their electronic fantasies? Are little boys and girls gleefully picking up colored pebbles on the beach; or do they only stub their toes on the way in to wade? As a little girl my mother taught me and my sisters how to created delicate dolls from hollyhock flowers growing in our front yard. These dolls only needed a little imagination and a toothpick. I looked forward to pretty summer days and our colorful little dolls. Could anything be more beautiful? "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these (Matthew 6:28-29 NKJ)." Yes, God is a fashion designer for hollyhock dolls!
