This weekend I finally took time to refill my pots with new soil and some fresh flowers. For the first time I made sure I followed the “Thriller, chiller and spiller” formula for the perfect pot. It really sounds more like the description to a horror movie than suggestions for a beautiful summer showing.
It’s a method to select your flower and foliage plants for those dramatic flower-filled planters, pots, and containers that we’ve been seeing in catalogues and magazines all winter
“Thrillers are the tall plants that serve as the focal point or accent plant for the container.”
“Chillers are the flowers or foliage plants that fill our the top of the pot or planter.“
“Spillers are the trailing plants that carry the color theme down over the edge of the pot or container. Spillers are generally not visually strong plants—rather, they are like the extras in the movies. They are necessary to make the movie (or the flower planter) complete, but they are not the stars. “
This week God has really been showing out. In one of my prayer times this week feeling so awed by His sweetness this thought crossed my mind...
God the Father, Jesus the Son, along with the Holy Spirit are the thrillers and the chillers. Nothing else on earth delights a soul as does His presence. I know He has thrilled you, taken your breath or moved you to tears when you know He has called your name. He dresses you with chills as you speak of His work
We are the spillers when He have a fresh encounter with Him. We like Paul, are spilled out like a drink offering. Just like the plant “spillers” we are necessary in God’s plans and schemes, but we are not the stars.
To God be the Glory… great things He is doing. May we always feel the thrills and chills as we draw near. And may we always spill out from the overflow of His grace and work in our lives.
