“Petals of Grace,” “Blessed Bites,” “Gift and Hope Bags,” and “The Grapevine” are beautiful expressions of love and care, especially as a way to remind people of God’s presence and love in their lives. It’s not just about the flowers but the message of hope and encouragement that each vase represents. Delivering these small, thoughtful gifts can brighten someone’s day, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and loved by both the ministry and God.

This is a powerful way for Surviving From Loss Ministry to reach out to those grieving, feeling lonely, or simply needing extra grace. It mirrors the gentle yet profound ways God’s love is often felt in our lives—through small, unexpected blessings.
