He Lives!

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

–Bill and Gloria Gaither

Not on my grocery list…

I saw this at the supermarket today.
Isn’t it a beautiful lily?

I don’t usually buy flowers from the florist –
the exceptions being a special occasion such as a birthday, or if company is coming.
Today wasn’t one of those days,
so I was armed only with my list of necessities, a handful of coupons,
and a reminder to pick up prescriptions from the supermarket pharmacy.

The main entrance to the store is very strategically also the location of the floral department(!)
Unless I’m in a great hurry, I enjoy taking time to browse through the “garden” of blooms
and just enjoy the beauty that is there.

Today, it was amazing that I was standing in the middle of
mums, poinsettias, orchids, tulips, roses, and a myriad of other blooms,
including some tropical flowers I had never seen before.

I snapped a picture of this lily with my camera phone so I could share it with you!
Good night, all!

Thank y’all for stopping by to visit Little Things.
May your life be filled with little blessings, little chuckles,
and little deeds of kindness (both given and received)!

…and may you take time to stop and smell the roses,
even if it’s only in the grocery store!!!
