(another photo of a lovely rose in our friend Jack's rose garden)
As I was reading the Bible last night, this scripture really touched my heart:
Song of Solomon 2:1: "I AM the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys."
Not only is He the "rose of Sharon", He is the "Lily of the valleys" plural... that means more than one valley......
So I got to thinking about my wonderful, amazing Beloved Savior..... In every valley of trial, tribulation, or sorrow that I have walked through, HE has been the ONE lovely part present in every valley..... how I love Him! Walking with Him, and trusting Him, grows sweeter every day....
So here is the Chorus to another of my favorite old songs:
"I Found The Lily in my Valley" by Quinton Mills
I found the lily in my valley, I found strength when I was worn
I found a place to leave my burdens, I found a refuge from the storm
A place where I could trade my dark skies, for beaming rays of sunshine
I found the lily in my valley, And now He blooms all the time
