In memory of Lily Runyan 12/12/2007


"Consider the lilies of the field,how they grow, how they grow."
"Consider the birds in the sky,How they fly, how they fly.
He clothes the lilies of the field.He feeds the birds in the sky.And he will feed those who trust him,And guide them with His eye."
"Consider the sheep of his fold,How they follow where he leads.Though the path may wind across the mountains,He knows the meadows where they feed."
"He clothes the lilies of the field.He feeds the birds in the sky,And he will feed those who trust him,And guide them with his eye."
"Consider the sweet, tender childrenWho must suffer on this earth..."
The pains of all of them he carriedFrom the day of his birth.He clothes the lilies of the field,He feeds the lambs in His fold,And he will heal those who trust him,And make their hearts as gold."

Lily Runyan, Eliza and William's cousin was born today one year ago. Although we did not get to meet her, we have felt her beautiful little spirit blessing our family since that time. Lily, we are thinking about you today.
