Just a Daisy in the Meadow

“Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus ,what a wonder You are!

You are brighter than the morning star.

You’re fairer, much fairer, than the lily that grows by the wayside,

Precious,more precious than gold.”

Whenever I sing this song I think of my friend, Bonita. She taught it to me and I’ve had the privilege of passing it along  to others also.  I remember stopping by the meadows and roadsides in New York (it forever changed my image of New York, I guess I just always thought of New York City whenever New York  came to my mind . . . but it is a pretty state) on our way to Va one summer after school let out . . .

Our hearts have keepsakes of many memories . . .

We love our “lilies” by the wayside . . . in fact that’s one of the worst things about traveling . . . I can’t stop the vehicle and get out and pick a few or take a picture of or just stroll through them  . . .( Well, I probably would . . . maybe that’s why Japheth likes to do all the driving

Anyway just a reminder to me . . . do I act like He’s fairer than the lilies . . . brighter than the morning star . . . and more precious than gold . . .  Yes, what a WONDER HE IS!
