Consider the Lilies

"Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind."

This is one of my favorite passages in scripture. Every year at this time, I am reminded of these verses and the promise that God will take care of us. We need not worry! I must say, some days are just hard. Life is just hard. God never promised us that things would be easy or that we wouldn't have disappointment in this life.  I have taken the past six months or so off from my blogging. Mainly because I just needed "quiet" time. We have had a few disappointments, but also have had many wonderful things happen during this time to be very thankful for. Each day that we have gives us a new opportunity to learn what it is that God would have us to do to help others. 

I am learning how to be a Mom to two teenagers! That is a hard job ANY day, but I think is a little more challenging when you have two younger children coming along behind. Children who are learning and watching each and every thing those big kids do! I feel I am constantly seeking scripture and advice from other great Moms who have gone before me. 

I am blessed beyond measure and so thankful for each new day, each and every flower that blooms, and especially each "transition" as it only teaches me something new and brings me closer to my Heavenly Father saying, "Well done good and faithful servant". 

Blessing to you today!
