In the Old Testament alone...
"Lilies" appear 17 times.
In the New Testament... they appear 2 times.
...Jesus said... "Consider how the lilies of the field grow.
...
✳️Observe them carefully and examine them.
Then you will understand!"
...He said.
...There are lilies of the field blooming near my house!
...A characteristic of lilies is...their wonderful fragrance.
...Sometimes, people trample on lilies that bloom in the field...😨
...However, trampled lilies...become even more fragrant, enveloping the surroundings in their scent!
...Even Solomon, who was at the height of his glory...could not compare to the fragrance of lilies.
...Ecclesiastes 7:2.
..."It is better to go to a house in mourning than to a house of feasting."

"Therein lies the end for all, and the living will remember it."

...That's what it says!

Christian funerals...
Many of those who attend...

will remember Death, Resurrection, and Heaven!

...Christian death... is truly like a lily in the field... filling the surroundings with the fragrance of lilies (Heaven).

...I believe God will transform you... into a person who smells of Christ, even in your life!

Shalom 😃
