Consider the lilies

After reading a friend's blog tonight, I am reminded of a song my daughter sang as a child. "Consider the Lilies". It is taken from Matthew 6:25-34.
Because I tend to worry too, I need this reminder every day also. Thanks Brooke for the gentle reminder.
Consider the lilies, they don't toil nor spin, but there is not a king with more splendor than them. Consider the sparrow, he don't plant nor sew, but he is fed by the Master, Who watches him grow. We have a Heavenly Father above, with eyes full of mercy and a heart full of love. He really cares when your head is bowed low. Consider the lilies and then you will know.
May I introduce you to this dear friend of mine, Who hangs out the stars and tells the sun when to shine. Who kisses the flowers each morning with dew, but He is never too busy to care about you. (lyrics by Candy Hemphill)

I could always relate to that song and love singing it as I rock little ones or swing on the porch swing with them. To sing it or hum it takes me back to a simpler time, and reminds me in a quiet way, "No need to worry" for what does worrying add to my day?

Another song by the Hemphills, "He's Still Working on Me." I can close my eyes and see my kids singing that one too.
He's still working on me. To make me what I ought to be. It took Him just a week to make the moon and the stars, sun and Earth and Jupiter and Mars. How loving and patient He must be, cause He's still working on me. In the mirror of His word, reflections that I see, make me wonder why He never gave up on me. But He loves me as I am and helps me when I pray. Remember He's the Potter, I'm the clay. There really ought to be a sign upon my heart, 'don't judge her yet there is an unfinished part'. But I'll be perfect just according to His plan, fashioned by the Master's loving hand.

We serve a Risen Savior, no matter what people say. We can believe He cares for us.
