ChristiaNet.com (http://www.christianet.com), the world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly page loads, asked readers to participate in a new survey by answering the question, "Should Christians use flower delivery services?" An overwhelming majority responded "yes" to Believers being a blessing to others through giving, especially for special occasions. One participant said, "I would say that this is a very good way to encourage someone and lift their spirit especially if they are confined to their home or in a hospital."

Out of 216 people who participated in this survey, 173 agreed that it is great for Christians to use flower delivery services to bless others. It is a great way to show friends and family that they are loved. While some participants felt that it should be exercised for special occasions only, many felt that it is appropriate anytime. Many participants felt that this is a good way to bless those who are far away. Bill Cooper, President of ChristiaNet.com, added, "Sending flowers gives Christians a way to express God's love and show the recipient that they are being thought of with warmth and affection."
Nine people responded "no" to the survey question. The responses in this group included other suggestions for showing affection. One respondent felt that it is much more effective to give the recipient the gift personally. Expressing love and affection can be done in many different ways but using flower delivery services is a good idea for those who can't be reached face-to-face. Another participant said, "No, because we can just pray for those who need it as an expression of love." Prayer is the greatest thing Christians can do for others. In addition to prayer, showing an expression of sentiment to someone in a physical way can be a blessing.
Thirty-four people who answered the survey question were unsure about sending gifts for special occasions. Some good points were made by several in this group. One person felt that the costs should be taken into consideration first. Shop around for the best deal when sending gifts by comparison shopping. Another participant felt that it is entirely up to the individual. Giving should be done with a cheerful heart and not out of obligation.
