Common Buttercup (Ranunculus acris)

Romans 15:4 (NRSV) God Raises Hope God raised a prophet; God raised a king. God raised Jesus up from the grave. Loretta Kuse God Raises Hope Within Us This tall Common Buttercup raises its slender stems and golden blossoms to the sky. It appears to raise them in hope of receiving sunshine and energy. Shiny petals of the flower open to the sun and seem to say, " I am open to what God gives. My petals reflect the light that shines on them." Dear Lord, Things to Think About and Do • Learn about this and other plants that were brought to America from Europe.
