Consider the Lilies

July 5

Suddenly, there they are! I wish I could watch them open, but it’s as if they wait until we’re not looking.
It’s been hot and very dry, but on this morning a gentle rain fell just long enough to lay beads of water on their petals. I can’t help but think of the following verse from the Bible.
“Consider how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you,
That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
(Matt 6:28-33)
