Pink Lilies

"Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

St Luke Chapter 12: v. 27

Do not worry about your life, Jesus tells us. Seek first the Kingdom of God, and our needs will be met. This is teaching us to have a proper attitude to material things, not to covet them, but to have a simpler trust in a caring Father who knows our needs better than us. This to me has a particular resonance in this materialistic twenty first century, where more material wealth really does not make people happier.
