Consider the lilies of the field
That's all I'm considering right now, although Luke 6 has much to consider--Jesus telling us not to worry about our life, about today's or tomorrow's troubles.
Consider the lilies of the field how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these (28, 29).
When I consider the lilies of the field, I consider that they grow, grow without worrying, grow by being their natural selves with nothing added on; they don't try to be sunflowers much less worry about them. They are lilies. That's it.
Yesterday, as I do most days, I walked up the street to the cemetery. I left a plant at the graveside of a teacher friend of mine. Mary Lou always had fresh flowers on her desk. She led a beautiful life being Mary Lou.
