Time for a change of post. This is a lily from my garden of last summer. They are hardly out of the ground yet this spring. I was looking for a peaceful picture to go with this post and this is what I came up with.
This has been a week of a major crisis in the family and those who know us best have heard about it.
Here are some of the thoughts that the Lord gave me during the initial shock and since then as comfort and encouragement.
Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
With a meditation WORTHY DEVOTIONS from
"..He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul..." Psalm 23:2 & 3.
"Peace be still" Mark 4:39
"Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not on thine own understanding...." Proverbs 3:5

Those are some of the many verses the Lord gave and used to sustain me during the last 6 years of our marriage. They are SO PRECIOUS! You can "take them to the bank" over and over again. I like the lily. It looks like it was possibly a hybrid that you had taken outdoors. Was it? I was just thinking of the chorus "He Giveth More Grace When the Burdens Grow Greater". I am not sure that is the title, but if you don't know which one it is, I'll send the words. I love you and am praying for you and all.
Pat, that is a hybrid lily but it stays in the garden all the time. I just hope the rabbit doesn't destroy any of the lilies this spring.
Yes, I know the hymn - I'll have to go look it up for the rest of the words.
