Just a thought 

Luke 27:1 consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; & yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

I love lilies especially the ones I see & purchase at Fresh Market in Tampa, Florida. I bring them home & hurriedly place them in a pretty vase.  Each morning i am greeted by their pretty faces….until let say, 5 days later.  My beautiful Lilly petals have fallen from the stem & are on the table.  John 15:4 abide in me,  & I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. As i looked at the fallen petals, I whisper to myself “if only they could of stayed on the stem”.  Jesus help me stay connected to you.
