🌸 Cloves: A Warming Herb of Strength & Protection
Cloves are tiny — but mighty. Used historically for healing, preserving food, and ceremonial anointing, cloves are packed with antibacterial, immune-boosting, and pain-relieving properties.
Cloves remind us that even the smallest gifts from God can carry great power.
“Do not despise the day of small beginnings.” — Zechariah 4:10
