Consider the Lillies

This is so reaffirming of life and the perfection of God's creations. Some lillies that were planted late this year never had a chance to bloom so when everything had frozen for several nights I cut them down for the winter and gave the stems to the deer. All except for two stems that had buds on them. Not really believing (but hoping) they could go from tight buds to beautiful blooms I set them in a vase of water and put them on the sill of the sunniest window. This is the result. Beautiful, right? The other one hasn't bloomed yet. It was so tiny but it, too, is growing and changing color.
