As I walked into work today, I noticed the prettiest, lonesome little lily on a small manicured bush. Many of the leaves on the bush are a yellow/brown and several withered lily corpses still cling to dead stalks. Today, I see one flower and one bud still putting on a show. I appreciate them.
As I look at the lily and know its fate, I ponder on my own. I am not immune. I can see another gray hair and maybe a longer line on my face…
But then I read this:
“For He (God) Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'” Heb 13:5
Never as in never.
With Him, I guess I am not so worried about the process then.

Wow…. I really like this sketch!!!
That is a brave lilly–mine gave it up a month ago. Nice watercolor sketch and good eye.
Best not to ponder, I think. Better use of time & energy to explore & enjoy. Pretty little lily. 🙂
Alan: Thank you very much!
Joan: Thanks, I agree brave little thing, saved all his energy for the end. 🙂
Lana: Thank you, you’re right, that’s what we need to use our energy on…explore & enjoy, well put!
