CONSIDER THE LILLIES

THE LAST COUPLE DAYS HAVE BEEN EXTREMLY HOT BUT WHEN GO OUTSIDE AT AROUND 5:30, IT IS ALMOST COOL ENOUGH FOR A LONG SLEEVE SHIRT EVEN THOUGH IT IS LATE JUNE.

I LOVE THE COOL SUMMER MORNINGS. IT IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO GO TO WORK ON DAYS SUCH AS THESE.TO MADE IT EVEN WORSE, SEVERAL NEIGHBORS MY AGE RECENTLY RETIRED. I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG!

AS I HEAD OFF TO PAY THE FIDDLER, I DRIVE PAST OUR SMALL CREEK . RIGHT NOW THE ORANGE TIGER LILLIES ARE IN THEIR FULL GLORY . I PLANTED THEM YEARS AGO AND THEY HAVE THRIVED THERE AND ARE GETTING MORE PLENTIFUL EACH AND EVERY YEAR.

I LOVE LOOKING AT THEM AND I LOVE LISTENING TO THEM. YES, THATS RIGHT... THEY ARE PREACHING AS I GO BY REMINDING AND ENCOURAGING ME THAT I AM NOT TO WORRY AND THAT GOD WILL CARE FOR US HELPS TAKE THE PRESSURE OF ME TODAY! EVEN THOUGH I KNOW BETTER, I WAS DUPED INTO THINKING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD WAS ON ME AGAIN.

MATTHEW 6:29-30

LOOK AT THE LILLIES AND HOW THEY GROW. THEY DON'T WORK OR MAKE THEIR CLOTHING YET SOLOMON IN ALL HIS GLORY WAS NOT DRESSED AS BEAUTIFULLY AS THEY ARE. IF GOD CARES SO WONDERFULLY FOR THR FLOWERS THAT ARE HERE AND GONE TOMORROW, WON'T HE SURELY CARE MORE FOR YOU?
