Sunday Solace: Consider The Lilies...



Matthew 6:28-29

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.


May you find comfort this week in the thought that God cares for our every need...

Warmly,

Mrs. Magpie (Sheila)

He is our greatest comfort - and promise of all.

My mother-in-laws name was Lily. I always thought it was such a pretty name.

Hi Sheila...Beautiful scripture, thanks for sharing. However, I must tell you my tongue is SORE! I have been clicking & clucking and trying everything I could to make a door knocking sound...it ain't happening...LOL...you must be the only one in the world who can do that! Funny... ;-) Bo

Shelia,

Lilies are SOME of my favorites and we grow several varieties. So beautiful.

It is the scriptures, the word of God and knowledge of his perfect love for each of us, His children which truly warms my heart.
A beautiful post for this Sabbath morning!

Love, Beth

Good Afternoon, Ladies! Thanks for visiting me today. I'm so happy you like the bouquet of lilies and other flowers. These were at my friend's tea, and when I looked at them, I thought of these words of the Lord.

Hoping the rest of your day is lovely as well as the week to follow...

XO,

Sheila :-)
