consider the lilies

                                                               poster by saija

i took this picture the other day of some of my lilies ...
don't they make you smile ...



Consider The Lilies - Joyful Singers 
Consider the lilies
They don't toil or spin
And there's not a king
With more splendor than them
Consider the sparrow
They don't plant or sow
But they're fed by the master
Who watches him grow

We have a heavenly father above
With eyes full of mercy
And a heart full of love
He really cares when
Your head is bowed low
Consider the lilies
And then you will know

May I introduce you
To this friend of mine
Who hangs out the stars
And tells the sun when to shine
He kisses the flowers
Each morning with dew
But He's not too busy
To love me and you

We have a heavenly father above
With eyes full of mercy
And a heart full of love
He really cares when
Your head is bowed low
Consider the lilies
And then you will know.

That is so sweet and so true. Hope you are keeping cool! Our AC is down for the count, and we are sweltering....but the temps are supposed to come down into the 80's in a few days. Hope so!!!

Imagine, this great creator of ours is telling us not to worry. I'm such a poor listener!
Thanks both for the photo and the verses. Are they both made by you?
