Lilies of the Field


Okay - so redemption draws near. Is that a tad dramatic? If only this blog had audio....I'd whisper that first line (for even greater dramatic effect, of course). I have dreamt of the day when I would be able to put together a very casual not-for-profit organization called LILIES OF THE FIELD. The sole purpose and mission of this organization is to donate and deliver hand tied arrangements to those whom society has deemed unworthy and forgotten. Can't you just see the eyes of a single mom at an abused women's shelter light up when flowers are delivered to her from her own children on Mother's day? What about the old lady at the nursing home who has no family to visit her and she sits alone day in and day out? Or the patient at the hospital with a terminal disease and nobody to let him know he is thought of while he leaves this world.


Jesus said that whatever we do unto the least of these, we do unto Him.

I invite each and every one of you to get involved. I will need volunteers, cash donations ( to buy flowers), vases, containers, legal help, graphic layouts, a board of directors, a cpa, encouragers, artists, dreamers, prayer warriors, smiles and capable hands.
