Love and a Lily
I went downstairs last night after having evening bedside prayer with my husband and saw on my table a gorgeous pink lily plant. Just seeing it touched me deeply, as I was greatly surprised, having not heard anyone come by. In those few moments I was upstairs, our daughter had answered the door to our kind bishop who had come by to deliver the plant and a note addressed to me. It read: "Thank you for holding down the fort and allowing your husband to serve! Happy Mother's Day."
I wept. Our dear bishop has not put any pressure on me whatsoever to be or do anything, he just loves and accepts--and trusts-- me. That is exactly what I need right now: love without qualifiers. That is what I feel from the Lord. That is what I feel from choice individuals who are in tune with His Spirit, like this wonderful man.
Thank you to this photographer for the picture.

bishops have so much on their plates, for him to be so intune, shows how great of a man he is, that he WAS called as a bishop (just for you) and that HF is so intune to your needs right now. What a wonderful man. Thanks for sharing, lilies are beautiful
Your bishop rocks. And the flowers are beautiful. And you are beautiful too. and a wonderful grandmother and mom.
