Lily

On days that are rainy or snowy I seem to get into the moods of reading, journal and just contemplating in general. I was reading my friend Eva's blog and was encouraged by her thoughts. Her blog is called "The lily awakens" and it's named after the story below. Take a minute to read and ponder. Enjoy this season and remember who you were made to worship.

The Lily
A story is told of a little girl many years ago in the slums who saw an object lesson using a beautiful white lily.The children gazed upon and touched the lovely lily.One little girl then looked upon herself and immediately fled to her garret home. She used soap she could find, and did her best to make herself more presentable. The lily had awakened her desire for cleanliness. So to look upon our great and holy God awakens within the child of God the desire to be more like Him.
