Faith, Folklore, and Friends

Have you heard this song by  Joel Hemphill ?  It was very popular several years ago, and has the kind of lyrics that just stick with you while you forget everything else.    Consider The Lilies Verse I Consider the lilies they don’t toil nor spin And there’s not a king with more splendor than them Consider the sparrow they don’t plant or sow But they’re fed by the Master who watches them grow Chorus: We have a Heavenly Father above With eyes filled with mercy And a heart filled with love He really cares when Your head is bowed low Consider the lilies and then you will know Verse II May I introduce you to this friend of mine Who hangs out the stars and tells the sun when to shine And kisses the flowers each morning with dew But He’s not too busy to care about you. Chorus...   So you have to know that this song was running in loops through my mind as Steph and I wandered through the lily patch at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. ...
